Tower of Fear is a lost Karloff and Lugosi film. Researcher Sandy Allan vows to track it down. She learns how haunted the production was and survivors are, and becomes haunted herself. The film contains a secret of Redfield, a titled family. For fertility the Redfield land demands a sacrifice and a band of ideal victims is heading there.

When Ramsey Campbell first encountered the Three Stooges, he was only a bemused spectator. Now he’s an admirer, and this personal appreciation celebrates the reasons. Few Hollywood comedy teams have endured like the Stooges, either in length of career or in continuing to entertain. One secret of their longevity was how their line-up often changed. Moe and Larry were the constant personnel, supported over the decades by Shemp and Curly and a trinity of Joes, one of them uncredited. In Six Stooges and Counting Campbell argues that the impermanence of identity is a frequent theme of their films, one aspect of the anarchy they incarnate. Once he believed there was little to their comedy but knockabout, and in this book he demonstrates how wrong he was. You’ll learn of their influence on Kubrick and Tarantino, and may it be present in Fassbinder’s films and Hong Kong action movies as well? You’ll find them playing Shakespeare and Greek tragedy, and figuring in Beckett and Bram Stoker. To quote Bridget “I think that anybody who doesn’t like the Three Stooges just never really watched.” Ramsey Campbell looked at them afresh and hopes this book will make the reader do that too.

Průřez padesáti lety literárních nočních můr, tedy povídkovým dílem jednoho z nejvýznamnějších současných autorů hororu, pro něž nejsou typické hektolitry krve, kvílení duchů ani hladová monstra.Autorovou doménou je naopak městská i venkovská paranoia, neklid a tíseň, rozklížené vztahy, děsivost cizích míst a neznámých lidí, hrůza každodennosti, nespolehlivost smyslů. Z povídek z let 1964 až 2012, které autor sám vybral pro toto reprezentativní české vydání, dýchá mrazivost moderního života. Díky pronikavému pozorovacímu talentu a schopnosti detekovat děsivé prvky v těch nejbanálnějších situacích se Campbell stal hlasem tiché hrůzy konce dvacátého století, velmistrem žánru, laureátem snad všech hororových ocenění a britskou žánrovou ikonou, o níž však český čtenář dosud z nějakého záhadného důvodu příliš neví.Nechte se odvést do zapadlých uliček anglických měst, do lesů i zchátralých panských sídel, kde vám hlas zkušeného a přesvědčivého vypravěče vysvětlí, co jste ve skutečnosti s úlekem zahlédli koutkem oka, když jste si mysleli, že kolem vás není živé duše.
