Ramsey Campbell wrote two novelizations for the Universal Horror Library in 1977: The Werewolf Of London and Creature From The Black Lagoon. Both are based on the famous Universal Studios monster movies.

These are short, pulpy works from early in Campbell’s career. They are interesting as curiosities for fans who want to see how a major horror writer handled classic monster material, but they are not representative of his later, more personal fiction.
