“Ramsey Campbell is a horror writer, but if you're looking for a boogeyman or things that bite in the night then he is not the writer for you; but if you like the horror of the psychological kind, of the mind the unsettling just lurking over your shoulder then he's the man for you. Joe is told by his grandfather just before he dies to be careful how you think of the dead because you can bring them back and you might not like what you bring back. When Joe loses his wife he can here her calling " Where am I ?" To answer her he must enter her after life which is a much made of him as her. This is not just a horror story it is also a story of grief and the disintegration of the human mind. How one can lose their place in time and sanity if you are not careful how you think of the departed. Ramsey is a brilliant writer of the psychological and things lurking in the shadows that you find yourself immersed in the story. Superb writing that drags you along on its coat tails. Highly Recommended.”
“Ramsey Campbell's books are one of its kind. The Lonely Lands also fall into the same category. At first, the plot would not at all feel appealing but slowly and slowly the interest develops. The book paints a vivid picture of our society that pokes its nose everywhere. But, the climax felt satisfying. There were moments when the pacing was uneven. But, the intricate plot twists need a reader's full attention to grasp the story. This book will keep you enthralled from start to finish, leaving you wanting more from the author.
