Uncanny Banquet: Ramsey Campbell: 9780751507041: Amazon.com: Books

Book Description:

November 25, 1993
In this outstanding collection of stories of terror and the supernatural, an entirely new generation of readers can now acquaint themselves with the talents that inspired such contemporary writers as Stephen King and Clive Barker. Here too are unjustly neglected modern writers who are faithful to the origins of the genre. The quality of the stories is underscored by the calibre of the contributors; rare tales from such revered writers as Walter de la Mare and Donald Wandrei stand alongside modern classics by Fritz Leiber, Robert Aickman and Russell Kirk, together with a new story by Ramsey Campbell himself. But the piece de resistance is a complete and fabulously scarce novel 'The Hole of the Pit' by Adrian Ross, originally published in 1914 and now triumphantly brought to light once more. This is a memorable collection in every sense.
