  1. I knew most of those. 😉 Ramsey Campbell is amazing. I recently found a hardback of his from the 70s at a used book store with a foreward about him. Really cool.

    Have a great day!

    1. That’s awesome! What book was it? One of my favorites is THE FACE THAT MUST DIE. The intro to that one is as harrowing as any horror novel I’ve ever read.

      You have a great day too, Erin!

  2. Yep, The Face that Must Die….the black and red cover version with the intro. His own life is a tale of its own, isn’t it? He’s one of the best writers, you know one of those that gets into your psyche and takes root.

    1. My wife felt the same way about (500) Days of Summer. I can definitely see how you two would have that reaction…but for me, man, the movie really worked.

      With Campbell, I’d start with The Doll Who Ate His Mother, The Face That Must Die, or The Parasite. Many of his others are phenomenal too, but those are the ones I’m most partial to since they were my first Ramsey Campbell reads. Something tells me you’ll really love his work…

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in a way, that explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012”. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, “reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.” Samhain Horror will also publish his third novel, The Darkest Lullaby, in April. Savage Species will be his fourth full-length work. Look for his fifth novel, a vampire western called Dust Devils, in early 2014. He has also written three novellas (The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true.
