An Evening with Ramsey Campbell at Waterstones Liverpool

We are delighted to welcome legendary horror writer Ramsey Campbell, who will be discussing The Incubations Ramsey will be in conversation with Catherine Cavendish.
Since he first came to prominence in the mid-1960's, 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", and Robert Hadji has described him as "perhaps the finest living exponent of the British weird fiction tradition", 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.

The Incubations:

When a weight landed on his legs he raised his head from the violently crumpled pillow. The bed already had another occupant, and as Leo flung the quilt back so that it wouldn’t hinder his escape the creature scurried up his body to squat on his chest, clutching him with all its limbs like half a spider…

Leo Parker's stay in Alphafen seems idyllic, but after he leaves, the nightmares begin: an airport turns into a labyrinth, his own words become treacherous if not lethal, and what are those creatures in the photographs he took? Even the therapy Leo undertakes becomes a source of menace.

Perhaps Leo has roused an ancient Alpine legend. Even once he understands what he brought back, his attempts to overcome itsinfluence may lead into greater nightmares still…

A collectable special edition hardcover edition for Ramsey Campbell's 60 years in publication.
The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and the chance to buy the new book and get it signed. Please note – due to time constraints, Ramsey will be signing copies of The Incubations plus two copies of his previous books per customer.
Thank you for your cooperation
