As part of our in conversation series, Liverpool John Moores University is proud to welcome back Honorary Fellow Ramsey Campbell.

Ramsey is a British writer considered to be one of the great masters of horror fiction. Interviewed by Andrew McMillan of LJMU’s Screen School, this will be an evening to savour the remarkable career of this leading horror writer of our generation.

Born in Liverpool, Ramsey has lived all of his life on Merseyside and as a writer, editor and critic, he has been a creative force for over 50 years. He is described as ‘Britain’s most respected living horror writer’ in The Oxford Companion to English Literature and best-selling author Stephen King has said he is: “literate in a field that has attracted many comic book intellects, cool in a field that tends toward panting melodrama…fluid in a field where many of the best practitioners fall prey to cant.”

Ramsey was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by LJMU in 2015. You can read his oration here. https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/fellows/honorary-fellows-2015/ramsey-campbell
