Exploring the chilling mind of Ramsey Campbell

The Music is Talking with Alexander Hallag

“The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest fascination”
H.P. Lovecraft.

Join us for this second episode of The Music is Talking, and delve into the black abyss that is the storytelling majesty of one of Lovecraft’s keenest adherents, the incomparable Ramsey Campbell.

With a body of work that spans five decades, over thirty novels and hundreds of short stories, Campbell’s story is indeed a fascination. In this enthralling podcast, I had a conversation with Ramsey Campbell and got to look deep into the history of what drives this dark master of literature.

With wit, mirth and a true story tellers gift you will be be transported through Campbell’s childhood in Liverpool, and taken on a personal journey where no stone is left unturned. Touching on his mother's mental health and his own experiences with psychedelics we get to see not just the writer, but the raw and visceral tales that ultimately shaped one of horror’s greatest literary lords.

Honest, genuine, warm and engaging, whether you are a long time fan of Ramsey Campbell, a horror fan or just a lover of a good story, this is a pre Halloween treat you will not want to miss!
