description: Robert Aickman was a master of what he called 'strange stories' and though his fiction has been categorized as horror it's actually its own beast.As we move further away from the horror boom of the last century and its focus on the mainstream appeal of small town horrors we are encountering successive generations of writers open to exploring new avenues of the subtly bizarre an area Aickman frequently mastered.This book is a sampler of how Robert Aickman's work has become a significant source of inspiration for contemporary writers.Table of ContentsIntroduction by Simon StrantzasSeaside Town by Brian EvensonNeithernor by Richard GavinLeast Light Most Night by John HowardCamp by David NickleA Delicate Craft by D.P.
