Honestly, I recommend picking up Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell - It's a good short story collection of his "best" works. You can find it used pretty cheap and then decide if you like it or not. That's what I did.

Here it is on Amazon if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/Alone-Horrors-...2409082&sr=8-1

Cool - What story is it? And what's the anthology? I'm always on the lookout for good short story collections.

Ramsey Campbell is amazing but I suppose I'm biased.

Been meaning to read Tim Lebbon for awhile. Been hearing he's good. I'll have to at some point. I just started reading Under The Dome by Stephen King.
