Sea of Ghosts: Volume One of the Gravedigger Chronicles
'The start of a thrilling new fantasy series by the author of the Deepgate series. Warfare, telepaths and metallic dragons hold sway in a bleak and dangerous flooded world, where a poisonous sea make everyday living almost impossible.' -THE BOOKSELLER
'A truly fantastic tale... an accomplished and original achievement... his invented world is one of the most bizarre, fascinating and dangerous it has been my pleasure to encounter... the story grips like a vice, filled with mystery and action, and there is a rich vein of black humour running through the strangeness.' - THE TIMES
'Rampant imagination is allied with unusually rich writing.' --MORNING STAR
'Rich, detailed, vibrant and totally unlike anything that you've read before, the setting comes across as a heavily steampunked Bioshock laden down with bizarre weaponry, strange ships, telepaths, magic, strange contraptions, weird science, poisoned seas and even mechanical dragon... Already this is earmarked as one of the books of the year. If there's any justice in the world then Sea of Ghosts will break Campbell out into the première league of UK fantasy writers, it's endlessly imaginative and impressively ambitious, but it's also a hugely fun adventure story that keeps up a relentless pace, leaving you with a cliff-hanger ending that will have you gasping for the next book in double-quick time.' - SCI-FI-LONDON
'Sea of Ghosts is a stonking good time, rip-roaring and boundlessly ambitious - a breathless, whistle-stop tour of a wonderfully moldering world one can only glee in imagining the stories Campbell is set to tell in. Onwards, I say! And upwards, I do not doubt.' -THE SPECULATIVE SCOTSMAN
'Sea of Ghosts is a highly entertaining novel highlighted by cinematic pacing, exhilarating action sequences, and unexpected moments of dark violence' -FANTASY BOOK CRITIC
Scar Night: Volume One of the Deepgate Codex
"Campbell has Neil Gaiman's gift for lushly dark stories and compelling antiheroes, and effortlessly channels the Victorian atmospherics of writer and illustrator Mervyn Peake as well. This imaginative first novel will have plenty of readers anxiously awaiting his follow-up."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Hugely powerful and remarkable. Highly Recommended."
SFREVU
"Stunning" (Five out of Five)
STARBURST
"This book is far too good to be anybody's first novel, so expect a lot of established authors to get cross."
SFX
"Scar Night is indecently good"
THE GUARDIAN
"...an engaging fantasy read that combines Victorian detail with a dark, Gaiman-like tone...
In Scar Night Campbell weaves a morose thriller that redefines dark fantasy.." MANIA.com
