It does not rely on the supernatural or sparkly vampires. ![]() If you are looking for a novel that can teach you what the elusive 'voice' really is, you need not look any further. ![]() With masterful storytelling, Ramsey Campbell shows what it takes to be a master of voice. ![]() While the main character is homophobic, and he does evil deeds upon evil deeds, the character believes in what he is doing.
