Loading... Alone With The Horrors (1993)by Ramsey Campbell
None. see http://www.sfsite.com/10a/av185.htm (  ) Georges_T._Dodds | Mar 30, 2013 |  A lot of stories in here for a collection, 39 all told. When it says it is a collection of his short fiction, they really mean it. Most of the tales here are of around the ten page variety. The majority are done in a similar style and structure, barring his Mythos story to start. He definitely goes in for succinct titles. A lot of school stories and book industry related, as well, so obviously that is on his mind a lot. Apparently we can thank the horrors of those toffy pommie schools for some of this stuff.

I bought this one because of the Lovecraft influence on some of Campbell's stories and was not at all disappointed. However, beyond Lovecraft's influence, Campbell has a wonderful style all his own which will leave you wanting more at the end of most of these stories. I didn't like a couple of these, but you know, when you have an anthology, you can't expect to like each and every story between the covers. However, if you want a good sampling of Campbell's work, then this is definitely the book to start with before you branch out (and you will...this man is a genius). There are 37 stories here so I can't possibly comment on all of them. Suffice it to say that I definitely recommend this for those who like to think about what they're reading as far as horror goes; if you are into the slasher/guts/gore crap then you may find this one tame.
