In this episode, Cousin Kit explains why Ramsey Campbell's Demons By Daylight in general, and Concussion in particular, is such a seismic publication. Uncle Jasp agrees and brings his own history with the story to the conversation. What does it sound like when two horror fans try and identify what it is about Campbell's writing that makes it so brilliant? It sounds a lot like this. Enjoy.
