Ramsey Campbell

[allybird]

My absolute pleasure to introduce to you... Ramsey Campbell (he doesn't need one but I was brought up very well).

'Since he first came to prominence in the mid-1960s, critics have cited Campbell as one of the leading writers in his field: T. E. D. Klein has written that "Campbell reigns supreme in the field today", while S. T. Joshi stated, "future generations will regard him as the leading horror writer of our generation, every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood."'

Well, thank you, Ally! Here I am!

I've been writing just short stories so far this year, having had an intensive four months on the Solomon Kane novel. I'll be reading one of them on Thursday night at the World Horror Convention in Brighton.

Other conventions - well, besides Fantasycon and the Festival of Fantastic Films this year, I'll be at Hypericon in Atlanta this June.

Time well spent on the Solomon Kane novel, I certainly enjoyed it

In common with others on this BFS Board, I have carried out a real-time review of this author's work.

SOLOMON KANE




'Solomon Kane is a 16th century anti-hero created by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan the Barbarian). When Solomon Kane (James Purefoy of Rome) 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. Written and directed by Michael J. Bassett, the film also stars Rachel Hurd-Wood, Pete Postlethwaite, Alice Krige, Mackenzie Crook, Jason Flemyng and Max von Sydow as Josiah Kane.'
