As a fan of the horror tales of Ramsey Campbell, I was beyond delighted to see that Dan Collins and Paul Siegel of the Wandering DMs channel recently had him as their guest. It's a very good, though regrettably short – just an hour! – interview, but there's a lot of excellent discussion during that time, including the relationship between fantasy and horror. Check it out if you have the time to do so.
So which came first, the Smoke Ghost post or listening to this vid?
ReplyDeleteI was writing about a different story for Pulp Fantasy Library this week while I was listening to the interview. When Campbell mentioned "Smoke Ghost," I was reminded of how much I liked the story and decided to switch gears and write about it instead.
DeleteA timely inspiration, then.
