Admittedly, I am not Ramsey Cambell's biggest fan. I'm not certain where the disconnect comes from. I understand he is one of the most successful English Horror writers and he has numerous accolades to prove it, but generally speaking, he's not for me.
As a result, I was expecting not to enjoy Think Yourself Lucky, and unfortunately, that turned out to be the case again here.
More than once I found myself having no clue what the author was getting on about.
I'm certain Think Yourself Lucky will sell well, after all, it's Ramsey Campbell. But, truth be told, I didn't care for this work at all. I didn't like any of the characters or the story. It was a chore to turn the pages, but I read the whole book as I always do. I refuse to write DNF in any review. Generally, that's not a problem since I decide what I'll read and I tend to read what I like.
Think Yourself Lucky is published by Flame Tree Press and is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats.
From the author's bio - Ramsey Campbell is an English horror fiction writer, editor, and critic who has been writing for well over fifty years. Since he first came to prominence in the mid-1960s, critics have cited Campbell as one of the leading writers in his field.
