Ramsey Campbell: S. T. Joshi predicts “future generations will regard him as the leading horror writer of our generation, every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood.”

The English author, editor and critic has been writing for well over fifty years. He sold his early stories to editors including August Derleth and Robert A.W. Lowndes. He was only 18 when his first collection, The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants (1964) was published by Arkham House. He is the Lifetime President of the British Fantasy Society.

Campbell has already racked up career honors including a Bram Stoker Award for lifetime achievement (1999), the International Horror Guild Awards Living Legend (2007), and as a World Horror Grandmaster (1999).

He has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award 15 times, with four wins. He has won three Bram Stoker Awards and 12 British Fantasy Awards.

Her novel Grass was a 1990 Hugo nominee, her novella “The Gardener” a 1989 World Fantasy Award nominee. She has had four novels shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and had seven works listed for the Tiptree Award.

  1. Great news about Tepper. “The gate to women’s country” is a classic, and I love her other work

  2. I’m very pleased to see this award go to Ramsey, who I’ve known since we were both in our late teens.

  3. YAAAAAAAY Tepper! Wildly deserved, and you don’t want to know how dog-eared my copy of Jinian Footseer is.

  4. YAY SHERI TEPPER YAY!!!

    (Ahem. I mean,”Wow, her work was meaningful and wonderful when I was at a very formative age.”)

    [And I’m so very sorry that health and pain issues have been impinging on her so badly lately.]
