DMR Books has acquired reprint rights to the dark swords and sorcery collection Far Away and Never by Ramsey Campbell. The agent was John Jarrold. The collection, originally published 25 years ago by Necronomicon Press, contains all of Campbell’s stories of Ryre which appeared in the Swords Against Darkness anthologies. This edition will also include an extra story – “A Madness From the Vaults.” The book is due for publication in the autumn of 2021.

Ramsey Campbell is the doyen of horror novelists. He is the only living horror writer to appear in the Oxford Companion to English Literature. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of Liverpool John Moores University in 2015.

Film-maker, screenwriter, producer and novelist Guillermo del Toro has tweeted about Ramsey Campbell: “An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that.”
