Now it’s been several years since I’ve heard that.
As far as Campbell goes, your not alone in your assessment.
I could never understand his revered status in the horror fiction genre.
I tend to like his earlier stories, when his fiction leaned more to the Lovecraftian, but as for as the psychological horror fiction he’s been writing for the last 30+ years, as far as I’m concerned, if you’ve read one, you’ve read them all.
And the one wasn’t that good to begin with!
I have similar feelings for the fiction of Dennis Etchison. Â
Very highly regarded in the horror fiction community, but what I’ve read of his stuff, it just does absolutely nothing for me as a reader.
