Robert Aickman, 2014
Robert Aickman's 'Cold Hand in Mine' collection showcases his mastery of the 'strange story' genre, presenting eight tales that lean into ambiguity rather than conventional ghost narratives. Originally published in the UK in 1975 and the US in 1977, this collection includes the World Fantasy Award-winning "Pages from a Young Girl's Journal." The stories explore unconventional scenarios, featuring characters such as a man spending a night in a hospice, a German aristocrat, and a woman who perceives her own soul. While hinting at familiar tropes like vampire stories, Aickman's work remains distinctively inconclusive and startling.
