Loading... The Darkest Part of the Woodsby Ramsey Campbell
None. Historically I have found Campbell's work to be rather verbose and unengaging. Since this had received good press I thought I'd revisit his work, alas I still found the prose dense, with swathes of pages which did little to propel the story in any meaningful way. Campbell's approach to horror is similar to John Saul's, where the tension is delivered from character driven fear and the creation of an unseen and affecting malevolence, however The Darkest Part of the Woods produces little of either. It's not compensated by any action either, ultimately producing a novel that has rather little to offer. Clearly there is a market for Campbell's work, however I found very little entertainment within the pages, although I was interested in how finished, suggesting the basic premise has value.
