Holes for Faces

Meer over het boek

One of the most respected living horror writers in the world, Campbell has more awards for his horror tales than any other author, and "is likely to be remembered as the leading horror writer of our generation," according to S.T. Joshi. One of the heirs apparent to early-twentieth-century American author H. P. Lovecraft, Campbell's horror stories are often set in contemporary Merseyside, England, his own hometown, and involve quite ordinary characters. His unsettling, dreamlike prose, however, transforms his work into very effective horror fiction. The fourteen stories in this collection are: “Passing Through Peacehaven” “Peep” “Getting It Wrong” “The Room Beyond” “Holes for Faces” “The Rounds” “The Decorations” “The Address” “Recently Used” “Chucky Comes to Liverpool” “With the Angels” “Behind the Doors” “Holding the Light” “The Long Way”
