5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best ever, 29 Aug 2006
By S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ramsey Campbell has produced some of the greatest short horror stories ever written. Most of them are in this volumn.
Mostly Campbell is influenced by H P Lovecraft rather than explicit gore or gratuitous violence - although there are always exceptions! So his writing style is completely different from say Stephen King, but both are masters of short horror fiction in their different ways.

The stories within are as scary as horror fiction can get. Amongst my favourites are "In the Bag", and perhaps best of all "The Companion". You know how with some novels (King on occasions is an example) after reading through hundreds of pages you get to the end and think - is that it? I.e. the ending never quite leaves you satisfied despite the brilliance of the story telling before (again King). Well you won't get this with Campbell's short stories, his end with a punch, metaphorically a knock-out one to your head...

Another splendid volumn to get if this one becomes unavailable is Dark Companions which contains many of the same stories. You'll probably only get this 2nd hand but its worth searching out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enthrawling mind twister!, 13 Dec 2002
This review is from: Alone with the Horrors (Paperback)
After owning this book for just 6 weeks i have read it cover to cover three times! Usually you pick up a book and after reading it once, you can say you know everything contained within it! When it comes to 'Alone With The Horrors' you cannot feel the need to put it down even to get yourself a drink, you just want to read and read. The descriptions make you feel although you are reading a picture book as the images jump out from within the pages and make you feel almost as if you are part if each scene. As you progress through the book you eyes are glued to the page as the story plays tricks with your mind and you feel the need to continue, even if to just set your mind at ease! As i said earlier you can read the book a multiple number of times and I feel that you gain an extra snippet of information and teasing facts each time!
This is an excellent book even for night reading as it is not too scary but is a gripping tale!

2.0 out of 5 stars Alone with the boredom., 3 Feb 2008
By B. J. Crossley "crossleysmn2" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just finished reading Alone with The Horrors after reading another book of campbells short fiction 'Ghosts and Grizzly things' oh dear oh dear oh dear I liked only 4 stories in 37...... the problem is that their not scary. their not creepy. their not intrigueing. ( non of the skills of the horror writer are in evidence in these stories.) Often the author just waffles incoherently and your left thinking (what the hell is this about, i cant understand this flim-flam!)
