ABOUT THE BOOK

Over nearly thirty years & 184 issues, Video Watchdog Magazine was among the most respected voices in the world of film criticism. For the last sixty of those issues legendary horror writer Ramsey Campbell lent his voice to its pages in RAMSEY'S RAMBLES a review column that moved from Turkish exploitation movies to the charming fantasies of Studio Ghibli; from cinematic sacred cows to home entertainment roadkill. Through it all Ramsey's wit, insight and, above all, his ingrained love & understanding of both cinema & storytelling, shone through. Now, every precious columnplus two written before the magazine ceased publication & printed here for the very first timehas been collected together

in one indispensible volume, along with a fascinating new introduction in which Ramsey invokes the cinema of his youth & the beginnings of a lifelong devotion to the projector's light. This diverse & thrilling journey covers sixty-six films & almost a century of cinema history (from 1919's The Trail of the Octopus to 2014's Song of the Sea) & is essential reading both cineastes & the many fans of Ramsey's revered fiction.
