Written by Ramsey Campbell, “The Influence” (1988) is about a young girl who is haunted by a deceased relative so she can take over her body. Ramsey Campbell brings on the creeps in this supernatural horror drama. Loved the characters and the way he developed them, they all felt like real people who aren’t clear […]

Dark Feasts (1987)

“Dark Feasts” is a short horror story collection by Ramsey Campbell, first published in 1987. This is only the second Ramsey Campbell book I’ve read so forgive me for my naivety.
