5.0 out of 5 stars Do you remember when horror fiction really scared you?, November 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Demons by Daylight (Paperback)

Shaking off his Lovecraftian roots, Campbell wrote these stories to bring horror fiction into the present day--tales where nightmares happen in everyday life, though perhaps only glimpsed out of the corner of one's eye. Campbell realized that the old techniques of elaborately building up suspense had lost their force, and instead used understatement and misdirection to scare the reader before they realized they'd been scared. I know this is an overused word, but this book really is a masterpiece, and well worth tracking down if it's out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shame to see out of print, January 13, 2007

By	Alexander Scott (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Demons by Daylight (Paperback)

It's a shame to see DEMONS BY DAYLIGHT out of print - Ramsey Campbell is one of the more successful followers in HP Lovecraft's footsteps and certainly a successful author in his own right. I believe that it was August Derleth who encouraged a young Campbell to refine his talents and publishing his first work, "The Church in the High Street." Campbell, for a while, played the Lovecraft game with secret deities, horrors from beyond, and ancient things waiting. Campbell was able to take elements from the Lovecraft canon and reshape them into something of his own, something more British maybe; COLD PRINT collects more of these stories, also THE INHABITANT IN THE LAKE. DEMONS BY DAYLIGHT has less of Lovecraft and more of James; the banality of evil and all that. I'll list the contents of this collection:

Potential
The End of a Summer's Day
At First Sight
The Franklyn Paragraphs
The Interloper
The Sentinels
The Guy
The Old Horns
The Lost
The Stocking
The Second Staircase
Concussion
The Enchanted Fruit
Made in Goatswood

4.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for horror fans, May 7, 2000

By	"madamebovary" (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Demons by Daylight (Paperback)

3 dollars! Every horror fan should own a copy of this book which is a perfect introduction to Campbells quite dense, detailed and inherently eerie style of writing. If your bored with King and want to try something new you could do MUCH worse then spend a few precious dollars of this collection od subtle horror stories.
