Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961–1991 is a collection of fantasy and horror stories by author Ramsey Campbell. Released in 1993 in an edition of 3,834 copies, it was the author's fourth collection of stories to be published by Arkham House. The contents consist of 39 of Campbell's previously uncollected tales along with a selection of works drawn from each of Campbell's Arkham collections as well as the mass-market collections Dark Companions (1982), Scared Stiff (1986) and Waking Nightmares (1991).

Contents

A mass-market edition was issued by Tor Books in 2005. It has a different introduction, and "The Room in the Castle" was replaced with "The Tower from Yuggoth", a first-draft (but published) version of "The Mine on Yuggoth", which appeared in The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants. The Tor edition also omits "Stages" and "Loveman's Comeback" from the Arkham House edition, for a total of 37 stories rather than 39.
