Description
“An absolute master of modern horror. And a damn fine writer at that” - Guillermo del Toro
Alex Grand is a successful crime novelist until his latest book is condemned for appropriating the experience of victims of abuse. In a bid to rescue his reputation he ghostwrites a memoir of abuse on behalf of a survivor, Carl Batchelor. Carl’s account proves to be less than entirely reliable; someone is alive who shouldn’t be. As Alex investigates the background of Carl’s accusations his grasp of the truth of the book and of his own involvement begins to crumble. When he has to testify in a court case brought about by Carl’s memoir, this may be one step too far for his insecure mind…

Reviews
"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."
"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."
“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.”
