The Long Lost 4 reviews
Ramsey Campbell
Tor Books, 1996
The most well-deserved 5 stars I've ever given.
+ interesting story
+ A supremely well-written example of the "Quiet Horror" Genre
I must agree with the "reader from California" on this one -- the "reader from Idaho" didn't know a good thing when he/she read it. I've never read a Ramsey Campbell novel before this, but now I can't wait to delve into the rest of his body of work. I just finished THE LONG LOST this morning on the ...

Old fashion Sci-Fi by one of the titans of the genre, Childhood's End keeps you guessing. It's not the typical story about aliens coming to earth and dominating man you might be expecting.

I have to say that I was predisposed to like this book, primarily because I've always enjoyed Clegg's work, but also because of its evocative, provocative title, a command many of us have heard or (unfortunately) used, often in moments of extreme tension. The phrase not only captures the main ...
