Somebody's Voice Reviews

Somebody's Voice was a quality thriller and shows the versatility and range of one of the giants of the horror world.

-- Ginger Nuts of Horror

Somebody's Voice is a harrowing read, a well-crafted novel about the writing process and the oddballs who pursue it as a career, about the fragile nature of truth, about identity, memory, and voice. It's a terrific addition to Campbell's list of accomplishments.

-- Considering Stories

I doubt I've read a more convincing account of incipient paranoia, the way an underlying issue is gradually exposed by stressful events involving livelihood and interpersonal attachments.

-- Gary Fry

Highly recommended for Campbell's fans and anyone who is not afraid to face the dark side of humanity in an attempt to open minds.

-- A Reviewer Darkly
