Cool Free (Kindle) Demons by Daylight by Ramsey Campbell [Supernatural Horror Collection]

Demons by Daylight by British author Ramsey Campbell (ISFDB, Wikipedia), a frequent recipient of the British Fantasy and Stoker Awards, is his vintage collection of supernatural horror short stories which was the 2nd he released, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 1973 by Arkham House, and apparently experiments with moving away from his earlier Lovecraftian influences and more into a Nabokov-esque style, according to its Wikipedia entry.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else program)

Description
Ramsey Campbell, known for his Lovecraftian mastery of the horror-fiction genre, moves away from his previous Cthulhu-mythos style. Here he presents a collection of short stories and supernatural tales set in the disconcerting world of what seems like our reality.

But there familiarity stops dead, changing into the terror of the unknown, the unreal … exploring unchartered recesses of the mind.

It is this terrifying juxtaposition of fact and fantasy that throws doubt even on one’s own sanity, leaving the reader wondering…

Rooted in his native environment (the haunts and byways of London, Liverpool, Brichester) his tales are peopled with the restless youth of today, the atmosphere of today’s world. It’s this uncanny element that makes his stories so captivating and spine-chilling.

But these familiar elements of life form only the point of departure for his unique journeys into the unknown, the unreal, the terrifying…

Demonic rites, psychotic disorders, the possession of powers way beyond the boundaries of understanding-Campbell searches the far reaches of the mind and the reader will not easily forget the sights and sounds, the feelings and hints, the true horror of all that he reveals.

Demons by Daylight is a gripping collection of supernatural horror thriller tales from visionary author Ramsey Campbell.

Only if they've been posthumously autographed by the author.
