Ramsey Campbell
Ramsey Campbell is one of the most prolific horror writers working today. His work is distinctive and unsettling, often combining the familiar landscapes of his home town of Liverpool with a half-glimpsed nightmare world where little girls' faces run like warm putty, and a creeping, misshapen something is scratching and mewling just out of the corner of your eye.
Like many other mainstream horror and fantasy authors, Ramsey does not stick rigidly to one particular style or theme. His last few novels have all been different, with different emphasis on the characters, different settings and different menaces.  
Campbell lives with his wife Jenny on Merseyside, where he reviews films for the BBC.
