About Campbell Armstrong
Campbell was born in Glasgow in 1944 and educated at Sussex University where he obtained a BA degree. Three years after his first novel was published in 1968, he moved to the United States, where he taught creative writing. He lived there for twenty years with his wife and children, and produced twenty novels before moving to Ireland in 1991. He has been in the front rank of modern thriller writers for many years, and his bestselling novels include the highly acclaimed Jig series. His recent heartbreaking memoir, 'All That Really Matters', was also a remarkable success, particularly in Scotland and Ireland, where it was a No 1 bestseller. Following the international success of 'Jig' (1987), many of his books, including 'Brainfire' and 'Asterisk', are once again available in the United Kingdom.

Campbell Armstrong recommends
Valley of Lights (1987) Stephen Gallagher "The author understands that real horror is best achieved in a setting of banality and Valley of Lights - with its unique relationship between spiritual predator and physical prey - thrives on the very ordinariness of things." | The Catalyst (1991) Ron McKay "A fine book, a sharp eye for character..." | Sheep (1994) Simon Maginn "He's given the horror genre novel a badly-needed blood transfusion." | |
Die Cast (2000) (Billy Oliphant, book 1) Alan Dunn "Enough twists and hairpin turns to have your head spinning. Terrific storytelling." | Ice Cold (2005) (Billy Oliphant, book 3) Alan Dunn "Terrific story telling." |
