Terry Lamsley has long been regarded as one of the most compelling and important authors in the horror and ghost fiction genres, but his work has been extremely difficult to find - until now. This collection brings together ten stories; all of them set in and around the author's hometown of Derbyshire. In Terry's fiction, the world we know and the world of something else exist side by side with only the thinnest of lines between them. The characters that inhabit Terry's work often inadvertently discover that this line is all too easily crossed. Originally published in a 500 copy edition by Ash-Tree Press, Terry Lamsley's Conference with the Dead has long remained almost unobtainable until now. A nominee for the World Fantasy Award, and winner of the International Horror Guild Award, this chilling collection of ghost stories set in England has remained out of print for far too long.… (més)

Terry Lamsley favors eeriness over blood n' guts, which I prefer... generally. This is a collection of tales; about a dozen or so. Some stories were absolutely fantastic, whereas others didn't really do it for me, but that's common in collections. They can't all be winners.

There is one story, "The Break", that was fascinatingly strange and bizarre. I loved the way he described the setting and atmosphere. For example, I've never read a story where the author made a seagull seem scary! That takes talent! However, there was a turning point in the story where some characters did something that made me say out loud, "Uh oh. I think these characters are going to turn out to be vampires." It was so great up until that point. The vampire angle wasn't even needed. He totally torpedoed a potentially great story by unnecessarily adding in a tired cliché.

The really good stories, like "Walking the Dog", more than made up for the weak ones making the collection overall above average. Not stunning, but good. ( )
