Ancient Images by Ramsey Campbell

2.0

Firstly this is not a new book, it's a republishing of a book that came out in 1989. I was heavily into horror back then and read it and enjoyed it. However, it's not aged particularly well.

The one-dimensional characters let the book down as do the tedious descriptions of motorway journeys, towns and hotel rooms.

I loved the premise of the cursed tape but wish this had either been left in the vaults or updated to a more modern setting.

Thanks to NetGalley and Flame Tree Press for a copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
