"The circular booths, the long target galleries, the low roller coaster, the ark and the crazy house draped shadow over each other and merged with the dimness of the paths between. Even the merry-go-round was hooded by darkness hanging from its canopy... But between the silent machines and stalls one ride was faintly illuminated: the ghost train."

A child returns from the fire that consumed him on Guy Fawkes Night, two girls come face to face with an Aztec god in a graffiti-strewn underpass, malevolent witches stalk the streets of Liverpool and the fells of Cumbria, ancient folk rituals usher evil in to an English village... Welcome to the weird and unsettling world of Ramsey Campbell.

In this chilling new collection, spanning Campbell's entire career from the mid-1970s to the present day, novelist, playwright and The League of Gentlemen alumnus Jeremy Dyson hand-picks his favourite tales by one of Britain's greatest living horror writers.
