The Face That Must Die

Ramsey Campbell’s daring look into the mind of a psychotic killer was published in truncated form in 1979; an expanded edition was later published in 1982. The paranoid outlook of the book’s main character, Horridge, is a grim commentary on a bleak Liverpool suburb and Thatcher era England. Millipede Press is proud to present this masterpiece of paranoia literature in a brand new edition, with the corrected text by Campbell and the compelling photographs of J.K. Potter. Ramsey Campbell is Britain’s most respected living horror writer. He has been given more awards than any other writer in the field, including the Grand Master Award of the World Horror Convention and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Horror Writers Asssociation, as well as numerous World Fantasy Awards.

The Influence

This new edition of The Influence features J.K. Potter’s rare photographs, outtakes, and a fifty-page interview with Ramsey Campbell. The book is not available in any other format.

With a printed silk front panel, top-edge stain, ribbon marker, patterned endsheets, and duotone images, this edition is signed by Ramsey Campbell and J.K. Potter.

Silent Children

Once upon a time there was a man who loved children. He loved them so much he tried to save them from their imperfect parents. Unfortunately, Hector Woollie didn’t work for Child Protective Services…
and the children he rescued, he murdered. Once upon a time, Leslie had a happy marriage, a happy son, and a happy life. Now divorced, she is trapped in ongoing battles with her ex husband, Roger, especially over their newly adolescent son, Ian. When Ian and his young stepsister disappear, Roger insists the boy kidnapped the girl, while Leslie thinks Ian might have run away. She prays that her son is near and will come home soon. Ian is near right next door, just on the other side of a shared wall. Ian can hear his parents fighting and his mother’s desperate weeping, but he can’t call for help. Hector Woollie has him and his stepsister, and if either child makes a peep, the madman will slit both their throats.

Pact of the Fathers

Daniella Logan, daughter of a film impresario, is stunned to see a group of robed men performing a ritual above the newly turned earth of her father’s grave. Daniella’s father and his friends politicians, newspaper magnates, highly paid actors, top flight surgeons, high ranking police officials, and many more are bound by an unholy blood pact that calls for the sacrifice of their first born children. Now, the more she learns, the more Daniella makes herself a target. But she must not be silenced, for she is not the only firstborn in danger, only the oldest.

The Darkest Part of the Woods

Ramsey Campbell is the world’s most honored living horror writer, with more than twenty World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Bram Stoker, and other awards to his credit. Hailed as one of the most literate and literary writers of our time, in genre and out, Campbell has been acclaimed as a ‘master of dark fantasy’ by Clive Barker, one of today’s ‘finest writers of supernatural horror and psychological suspense’ by the Charleston Post & Courier, the ‘master of a skewed and exquisitely terrifying style’ by Library Journal, ‘one of the world’s foremost horror writers’ by the San Francisco Examiner Chronicle, and a ‘master of mood’ by Publishers Weekly. In The Darkest Part of the Woods, Campbell introduces readers to the Price family, whose lives have for decades been snarled with the fate of the ancient forest of Goodmanswood. Here, Dr. Lennox Price discovered a hallucinogenic moss that quickly became the focus of a cult and though the moss and the trees on which it grew are long gone, it seems as if the whole forest can now affect the minds of visitors. After Lennox is killed trying to return to his beloved wood, his widow seems to see and hear him in the trees or is it a dark version of the Green Man that caresses her with leafy hands? Lennox’s grandson heeds a call to lie in his lover’s arms in the very heart of the forest and cannot help but wonder what the fruit of that love will be. And Heather, Lennox’s daughter, who turned her back on her father’s mysteries and sought sanctuary in the world of facts and history? Goodmanswood summons her as well…

The Overnight

A bookstore can be a wonderful, welcoming place of both commerce and curiosity. That’s the goal for Woody, an American recently transferred to England to run a branch of Texts. He wants a clean, orderly store and lots of sales to show his bosses when they arrive from the States for a pre Christmas inspection. Not easy given the shop’s location in a foggy strip mall. And things keep going wrong. No matter how often the shelves are put in order before the doors are locked at night, when the staff returns in the morning, books are lying all over the floor, many damp and damaged beyond repair. The store’s computers keep acting up errors appear in brochures and ads and orders disappear completely. And even when the machines are turned off, they seem to glow with a spectral gray light. The hit and run death of an employee in the store’s parking lot marks a turning point. One employee accuses another of making sexual advances and they come to blows. Between one sentence and the next, one loses his ability to read. The security monitors display half seen things crawling between the stacks that vanish before anyone can find them. Desperate, Woody musters his staff for an overnight inventory. When the last customers reluctantly depart, leaving almost visible trails of slime shining behind them, the doors are locked, sealing Woody and the others inside for a final orgy of shelving. The damp, grey, silent things that have been lurking in the baseme*nt and hiding in the fog may move slowly, but they are inexorable. This bookstore is no haven. It is the doorway to a hell unlike any other.

The Grin of the Dark

A former professor offers film critic Simon the chance of a lifetime to write a book on one of the greatest long lost comedians of the silent film era, Tubby Thackeray. Simon is determined to find out the truth behind the jolly fat man’s disappearance from film and from the world.

Tubby s work carries the unmistakable stamp of the macabre. People literally laughed themselves to death during his performances. Soon, wherever Simon goes, laughter and a clown s wide, threatening grin follow. Is Simon losing his mind? Or is Tubby Thackeray waiting for him to open the door back to the world?

Ramsey Campbell has won a dozen British Fantasy and World Fantasy Awards and three Bram Stoker Awards. A new Campbell novel is an opportunity to delight in the craftsmanship of an extraordinary writer.

Solomon Kane

When Solomon Kane, a sixteenth century adventurer, meets the Devil’s Reaper, he postpones his fate by renouncing violence a vow that is soon tested by the forces of evil. As Kane once again straps on his weapons, he embarks on an epic journey of redemption.

Scared Stiff

Ramsey Campbell has won four World Fantasy Awards, ten British Fantasy Awards, and the Horror Writers’ Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Publishers Weekly calls Campbell ‘a horror writer’s horror writer,’ adding, ‘His control of mood and atmosphere is unsurpassed.’ The Cleveland Plain Dealer says his horror fiction is ‘of consistently high quality,’ and The Washington Post praises Campbell for continuing ‘to break new ground, advancing the style and thematic content of horror fiction far beyond the works of his contemporaries.’

The original publication of Scared Stiff almost created the sub genre of erotic horror. Never had sex and death been so mesmerizingly entwined. Clive Barker, in his Introduction, says, ‘One of the delightfully unsettling things about these tales is the way Ramsey’s brooding, utterly unique vision renders an act so familiar to us all so fretful, so strange, so chilling. Sex…
is the perfect stuff for the horror writer, and there can be few artists working in the genre as capable of analyzing and dramatizing this as Campbell.’

For this edition, Campbell has added three new stories which have never before appeared in book form.

Alone With the Horrors

Ramsey Campbell is perhaps the world’s most decorated author of horror fiction. He has won four World Fantasy Awards, ten British Fantasy Awards, three Bram Stoker Awards, and the Horror Writers’ Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Three decades into his career, Campbell paused to review his body of short fiction and selected the stories that were, to his mind, the very best of his works. Alone With the Horrors collects nearly forty tales from the first thirty years of Campbell’s writing. Included here are ‘In the Bag,’ which won the British Fantasy Award, and two World Fantasy Award winning stories, ‘The Chimney’ and the classic ‘Mackintosh Willy.’ Campbell crowns the book with a length preface which traces his early publication history, discusses his youthful correspondence with August Derleth, illuminates the influence of H.P. Lovecraft on his early work, and gives an account of the creation of each story and the author’s personal as*sessment of the works’ flaws and virtues. In its first publication, a decade ago, Alone With the Horrors won both the Bram Stoker Award and the World Fantasy Award. For this new edition, Campbell has added one of his very first published stories, a Lovecraftian classic, ‘The Tower from Yuggoth.’ From this early, Cthulhian tale, to later works that showcase Campbell’s growing mastery of mood and character, Alone With the Horrors provides readers with a close look at a powerful writer’s development of his craft.

Strange Things and Stranger Places

and ”Medusa,” along with eight shorter works of horror fiction about such places as forbidden castle ruins where children’s games become chilling reality. By the author of The Count of Eleven.

Ghosts and Grisly Things

Ramsey Campbell’s novels have justly won him acclaim as one of the best writers of the age. A three time winner of the World Fantasy Award and an eight time winner of the British Fantasy Award, his writing has struck a chord with readers worldwide.

The Book of Cthulhu

The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century”s most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries the so called ‘Lovecraft Circle’, The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales. From weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction has been a major cultural meme throughout the 20th century, and how this type of story is still salient, and terribly powerful today.

The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2010

Darkness surrounds us. We can find darkness anywhere: in a strange green stone etched with mysterious symbols; at a small town’s annual picnic; in a ghostly house that is easy to enter but not so easy to leave; behind the dumpster in the alley where a harpy lives; in The Nowhere, a place where car keys, toys, people disappear to; among Polar explorers; and, most definitely, within ourselves. Darkness flies from mysterious crates; surrounds children whose nightlights have vanished; and flickers between us at the movie theater. Darkness crawls from the past and is waiting in our future; and there’s always a chance that Halloween really is a door opening directly into endless shadow. Welcome to the dark. You may never want to leave. This inaugural volume of the year’s best dark fantasy and horror features more than 500 pages of dark tales from some of today’s finest writers of the fantastique. Chosen from a variety of sources, these stories are as eclectic and varied as the genre itself.

The End of the Line

The spaces between stations hold secrets too terrible for the upper world to comprehend and the steel lines sing with the songs of the dead. Jonathan Oliver has collected together some of the very best in new horror writing in an themed anthology of stories set on, and around, the New York subway, the London underground, the Metro and other places deep below.
