Guest Host? Ramsey Campbell?

You've guys have gotten some incredible guest hosts thus far. If I could make a suggestion, it would be interesting to get Ramsey Campbell as a guest host in some future episode. In an interview with Yog-Sothoth.com he said that he considers "The Colour Out of Space" to be Lovecraft's very best story and one of the greatest weird stories of all time. I bet that he would have some interesting things to say about that particular story in a detailed interview. Moreover, he's so interesting I bet you could make a whole episode just out of an interview with him.
Just a thought.

Just read
Colour
and I might have to agree with him. The early parts reminded me of the Karloft addaptation with the bad ending bu the eneding of this book was lovecraft in concentrated form. The language actually succeeds in conveying a sense of the unnameable, unknowable,beyond.

What about Brian Lumley? He certainly knows his (Lovecraftian) stuff, and has contributed quite a lot to the ongoing Mythos. (Although, truth to tell, I personally didn't care much for his Titus Crow stories -- but that's just me.) At any rate, much like Mr. Campbell, Mr. Lumley should be able to provide an interesting across-the-pond take on this otherwise quintessentially American writer.
(Taken from his Wikipedia page bibliography):
