The Wise Friend

Ramsey Campbell

An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that - Guillermo del Toro Patrick Torrington’s aunt Thelma was a successful artist whose late work turned towards the occult. While staying with her in his teens he found evidence that she used to visit magical sites. As an adult he discovers her journal of her explorations, and his teenage son Roy becomes fascinated too. His experiences at the sites scare Patrick away from them, but Roy carries on the search, together with his new girlfriend. Can Patrick convince his son that his increasingly terrible suspicions are real, or will what they’ve helped to rouse take a new hold on the world? AUTHOR: Ramsey Campbellwas born in Liverpool in 1946 and still lives on Merseyside. The Oxford Companion to English Literature describes him as Britain’s most respected living horror writer . He has been given more awards than any other writer in the field, including the Grand Master Award of the World Horror Convention, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Horror Writers Association, the Living Legend Award of the International Horror Guild and the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award.
