A presentation copy of the beautiful collection published by Arkham House, the niche publishing firm founded by August Derleth that specialized in stories of the macabre. This collection of short stories spans 30 years in the career of Ramsey Campbell, from 1961-1991. Campbell is considered one of masters of the horror genre, and while he didn't attain commercial success until 1980, he was a prolific writer of short stories through the 1960s and 1970s. He has since written more than 30 novels, including several bestsellers such as The Incarnate, The Nameless and The Parasite. His books are highly sought after by collectors and first edition copies are increasingly hard to find. It is unusual to find one in this condition.
