Published sixty years after Ramsey Campbell’s first story – The Inhabitant of the Lake - appeared, The Incubations is an enthralling story encompassing Nazi obsession with the supernatural, mixed with Lovecraftian threads and woven together in the author’s inimitable style. The sense of creeping dread that pervades Campbell’s work is well to the fore and keeps the reader hooked and guessing to the end.

– Catherine Cavendish, author of Supernatural, Ghostly, Haunted House and Gothic Fiction

What I love about Ramsey Campbell is his fiction provides that old-fashioned understated, sinister creepiness, without losing modern sensibilities. No one does it as well as Ramsey Campbell, and here's the proof.

– Joe R. Lansdale, author of over forty novels and numerous short stories

The Incubations begins with mundane failures and terrors and spools out into an extraordinary, unsettling tale of paranoia, fear, and imagination. Ramsey Campbell's trademark impeccable prose pulls the reader into a downward spiral that will leave you questioning your own memory and perception. I savored every disorienting page.

– Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Horror Movie

It's a demanding role, being Britain's premier writer of horror fiction, but it's one that Ramsey Campbell has comfortably filled for decades now – and, in fact, he is among the world's finest practitioners of the art. The Incubations coruscates with all of his celebrated skills: the command of subtle and allusive narrative, the elegant use of language and – most of all – the ability to pleasurably disturb the reader at the deepest level. It's proof that Campbell remains at the top of his game.

– Barry Forshaw, author of British Gothic Cinema

An unputdownable feast of folk horror and fiendish creatures.

– John Llewellyn Probert, Winner of the British Fantasy Award

A masterclass in paranoid prose, The Incubations presents us with Ramsey Campbell at the height of his powers. I can think of no other living writer so adept at creating nightmares from vaguely apprehended shadows, cross-purpose attempts at conversation, and the awkward perceptions of society's perennial outsiders.

Encounter the Alps as you’ve never imagined them… Ramsey Campbell and folk horror make for a formidable combination! Embrace your deepest fears and come on in…

– Alison Littlewood, author of horror novels and short stories

[A] fearsomely compelling read from beginning to end. [...] Ramsey Campbell, who is celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the publication of his first book, shows with The Incubations that he remains the premier writer of weird fiction in our time, and perhaps of all time.

– S.T. Joshi, literary critic

In his new novel The Incubations, Ramsey Campbell yet again successfully delivers what most horror writers spend a lifetime failing to achieve: he instills in his readers the sense that his fiction is coiling its loathsome tendrils around their minds and drawing them inexorably into a netherworld of inescapable, dread-inducing nightmare.

– Mark Morris, author of That Which Stands Outside

An exceptional piece of work. The Master that is Ramsey Campbell just keeps on getting better and better - how is that even possible?! Highly recommended.

– Dean M. Drinkel, award winning screenwriter & director

The Incubations is top-flight Campbell, displaying the depth of his vision and the seemingly limitless nature of his reach. The author is fond of saying that after all these years he still hasn’t found the limits of the horror genre. May his search long continue.
