Demons by Daylight: Supernatural Fictions

â€œThe nearest thing to an heir to M. R. Jamesâ€ â€“ The Times

Ramsey Campbell, known for his Lovecraftian mastery of the horror-fiction genre, moves away from his previous Cthulhu-mythos style. Here he presents a collection of short stories and supernatural tales set in the disconcerting world of what seems like our reality.

But there familiarity stops dead, changing into the terror of the unknown, the unreal â€¦ exploring unchartered recesses of the mind.

It is this terrifying juxtaposition of fact and fantasy that throws doubt even on oneâ€™s own sanity, leaving the reader wonderingâ€¦

Rooted in his native environment (the haunts and byways of London, Liverpool, Brichester) his tales are peopled with the restless youth of today, the atmosphere of todayâ€™s world. Itâ€™s this uncanny element that makes his stories so captivating and spine-chilling.

But these familiar elements of life form only the point of departure for his unique journeys into the unknown, the unreal, the terrifyingâ€¦

Demonic rites, psychotic disorders, the possession of powers way beyond the boundaries of understanding-Campbell searches the far reaches of the mind and the reader will not easily forget the sights and sounds, the feelings and hints, the true horror of all that he reveals.

Demons by Daylight is a gripping collection of supernatural horror thriller tales from visionary author Ramsey Campbell.
