Joshi, S.T. Ramsey Campbell and Modern Horror Fiction.  Liverpool, England:  Liverpool University Press, 2001.

A biographical and critical study that places Campbell within the context of horror fiction in general, from the Gothic novel to Lovecraft.  Reiterates much of what he has said in his essays on Campbell. Moving from the Lovecraftian tales through the early work in Demons by Daylight and the paranoiac imagery in such works as The Doll Who Ate His Mother and The Face That Must Die to his later stories and his non-fiction, Joshi explores all of the facets of Campbell's work.  An essential work that expands comments in my own work on Campbell.
