Visions from Brichester

This companion volume to the complete PS Publishing edition of The Inhabitant of the Lake and Other Unwelcome Tenants collects all of Ramsey Campbell’s remaining Lovecraftian stories that are of less than novel length. It begins with the first tale Campbell wrote immediately after that first Arkham House book, and comes up to date with the novella The Last Revelation of Gla’aki, his recent return to his own Lovecraftian territory, where he rediscovers Lovecraft’s first principles and strips away the accretions of the mythos that developed after Lovecraft’s death.

The book includes the first publication anywhere of the first drafts of “Cold Print” and “The Franklyn Paragraphs”, and offers the bonus of “Mushrooms from Merseyside”, all his Lovecraftian tales inhumanly transmuted into limericks. The book also collects his Lovecraftian non-fiction, not least his transcription of an English correspondent’s letters to Lovecraft and a close reading of three Lovecraft tales.

Like the companion volume, this book is superbly illustrated by Randy Broecker in the great tradition of Weird Tales.

Acest volum insotitor al editiei complete a editiei PS din „Locuitorul lacului si alti chiriasi nedoriti” colecteaza toate povestile lovecraftiene ramase ale lui Ramsey Campbell, care au o lungime mai mica decat cea noua. Incepe cu prima poveste pe care Campbell a scris-o imediat dupa prima carte a Arkham House si se actualizeaza cu romanul Ultima revelatie a lui Gla'aki, revenirea sa recenta pe propriul sau teritoriu Lovecraftian, unde redescopera primele principii ale lui Lovecraft si le indeparteaza acretiile miturilor care s-au dezvoltat dupa moartea lui Lovecraft. Cartea include prima publicatie oriunde a primelor versiuni ale „Cold Print” si „The Franklyn paragraphs” si ofera bonusul „Ciuperci din Merseyside”, toate povestirile sale Lovecraftian inuman transmutat in limerici.
