the Alarming and Phantasmal are what they sound like.
His novels The Nameless, Pact of the Fathers and The Influence have
been filmed in Spain. He is the President of the Society of
Fantastic Films.
"Campbell’s writing is intimate, darkly funny, and deeply human,
balancing edge-of-the-seat suspense with heartfelt character
development. This delightfully unsettling sequel does not
disappoint."
*Publishers Weekly*
"Campbell has always been a master of tense relationships, of
letting us listen into conversations we don’t want to hear, of
upping the stress and anxiety levels of his major character, and
all of those are here [...] one of his finest novels, in a career
full of fine novels"
