Ramsey Campbell's daring look into the mind of a psychotic killer was published in truncated form in 1979; an expanded edition was later published in 1982. The paranoid outlook of the book's main character, Horridge, is a grim commentary on a bleak Liverpool suburb and Thatcher-era England. Millipede Press is proud to present this masterpiece of paranoia literature in a brand new edition, with the corrected text by Campbell and the compelling photographs of J.K. Potter.
"A very singular vision, and a perfectly integrated work of art... The book is flawlessly put together... This is a thriler that hauls ass, a thriller that truly thrills, all dark twists and turns, all cunning suspense... This book manages to scare the hell out of me every time I read it."
- Ed Gorman
