The Lonely Lands

A New Masterpiece from World Fantasy Lifetime Award winner Ramsey Campbell

Joe Hunter has begun to adjust to the loss of his wife when he hears her calling from beyond, “Where am I?” 

His urge to help leads him into her afterlife, which is made up of their memories. 

Even the best of those is no refuge from the restless dead, and Joe can only lure them away from her. Soon they begin to invade his everyday life, and every journey he makes to find her leaves him less able to return. 

When her refuges turn nightmarish, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep her safe…
