A lost film, a buried scandal, and the old "dread" version of horror.

When film researcher Sandy Allan tracks down a vanished 1930s horror movie—suppressed after its first screening—she discovers the film didn’t just disappear. Everyone connected to it did as well.

Ahhhhh!

As she begins to untangle the story behind the production, she’s drawn into a world of folk ritual, occult power, and the uncanny power of images themselves.

Ancient Images is one of Ramsey Campbell’s most acclaimed novels, fusing film history, British paganism, and creeping psychological dread. Less gore, more atmosphere: a slow, tightening dread that never quite lets go.

First hardback edition, dust jacket intact.
