Visions from Brichester is a collection of Lovecraftian horror stories by veteran British author Ramsey Campbell. Featuring cover and interior artwork by Randy Broecker, it was issued in a hardcover format by PS Publishing in August 2015; a paperback edition was released in May 2018 [1].
Overview[]
“ | This companion volume to the complete PS Publishing edition of The Inhabitant of the Lake and Other Unwelcome Tenants collects all of Ramsey Campbell’s remaining Lovecraftian stories that are of less than novel length. It begins with the first tale Campbell wrote immediately after that first Arkham House book, and comes up to date with the novella The Last Revelation of Gla’aki, his recent return to his own Lovecraftian territory, where he rediscovers Lovecraft’s first principles and strips away the accretions of the mythos that developed after Lovecraft’s death. The book includes the first publication anywhere of the first drafts of “Cold Print” and “The Franklyn Paragraphs”, and offers the bonus of “Mushrooms from Merseyside”, all his Lovecraftian tales inhumanly transmuted into limericks. The book also collects his Lovecraftian non-fiction, not least his transcription of an English correspondent’s letters to Lovecraft and a close reading of three Lovecraft tales. Like the companion volume, this book is superbly illustrated by Randy Broecker in the great tradition of Weird Tales. |
