FLAME TREE ACQUIRE WORLD ENGLISH RIGHTS IN RAMSEY CAMPBELL’S NEW NOVEL THE INCUBATIONS
Don D’Auria of Flame Tree Press has acquired World English rights in THE INCUBATIONS, the new novel by doyen of horror writers, Ramsey Campbell. The book will be published in 2024. The agent was John Jarrold.
The English town of Settlesham was twinned with Alphafen in Germany after the Second World War. Leo Parker has corresponded with Hanna Weber since their teens but has never previously visited her. His stay in Alphafen seems idyllic, but after he leaves the town the nightmares begin—an airport turns into a labyrinth, his own words become treacherous if not lethal, a family meal grows unnaturally active, and what are those creatures in the photographs he took? Perhaps he’s roused the source of an ancient Alpine legend. Even once he understands what he brought back, worse is to come…
Flame Tree have published Ramsey’s most recent novels, THE LONELY LANDS, FELLSTONES, THE WISE FRIEND and SOMEBODY’S VOICE, as well as a number of his backlist titles.
Ramsey Campbell is the only living horror writer to appear in the Oxford Companion to English Literature. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of Liverpool John Moores University in 2015.
Film-maker, screenwriter, producer and novelist Guillermo del Toro has tweeted about Ramsey Campbell: “An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that.”
