'Reading Robert Aickman is like watching a magician work, and very
often I'm not even sure what the trick was. All I know is that he
did it beautifully.' Neil Gaiman For fans of Inside Number 9 and
The League of Gentlemen -- with an introduction by Reece Shearsmith
Aickman's 'strange stories' (his preferred term) are constructed
immaculately, the neuroses of his characters painted in subtle
shades. He builds dread by the steady accrual of realistic detail,
until the reader realises that the protagonist is heading towards
their doom as if in a dream. Cold Hand in Mine, first published in
1975, stands as one of Aickman's finest collections and contains
eight tales including 'Pages from a Young Girl's Journal' which won
the World Fantasy Award. 'He had the ability to invest the daylight
world with all the terrors of the night, and specialised in
subverting notions of safety and sunshine into something sinister
and unforgiving.' Christopher Fowler, Independent
