Since I find the prose of Ramsey Campbell to be typical of the average UK fiction writer--dull and wooden, that is--I have chosen to focus solely on Grant's work; that's the main reason why I bought this book anyway. I guess it's also a tempting prospect to possess any book featuring J.K. Potter's darkly bizarre photographic experiments; the cover's two-faced subject, along with the equally chimerical interior illustrations, captures the union of the ominous and the elegant already suggested by
An anthology only consisting of two authors isnt something you see everyday. In Black Wine editor Douglas Winter present a handful of stories by both british Ramsey Campbell and american Charles Grant. Personally I prefer Campbell, since his stories are always a bit different than the average horrorstory, Always quite unsettling. But Charles Grants stories are also enjoyable without ever really bringing foth any goosebumps!
As usual, the only bad thing about this is it was so short. Ramsey's stories: so beautifully surreal. Charles' stories: humming with quiet desperation. Wonderful.
