Akin to Poetry by Philip Challinor
Robert Aickman was one of the twentieth century's most distinguished and distinctive writers of weird fiction. He believed that supernatural stories should work on the unconscious mind in a manner "akin to poetry," and his "strange tales," as he called them, are personal, elegant and elusive. Perhaps for this reason, they have so far received little of the critical attention they deserve. This book examines eight of Aickman's stories, noting their often indirect cultural and autobiographical allusions, and drawing at least some meaning behind their frequently enigmatic plots.

Monsters and Victims by Charlie Bondhus
Building on the Gothic convention of the "found manuscript," the plot unfolds through a series of electronic documents written by two different "authors." A rumination on the nature of violence, complicity, victimhood, and the impact of digital reality on "actual reality," Monsters and Victims is both a thought-provoking text and a highly entertaining thriller.
Charlie Bondhus has published two books of poetry--What We Have Learned to Love and How the Boy Might See It--both winning awards. He has poetry in a number of magazines and holds an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Robert Aickman: An Introduction by Gary William Crawford
Robert Aickman was one of the most important writers of ghost stories in the last century. His personal, deeply felt ghost stories were consummately poetic. Very much feeling a sense of twentieth century Angst, he wrote elegant, moving tales of subtle terror. Aickman also founded The Inland Waterways Association in Britain, which upgraded Britain's rivers and canals. He was a drama and film critic as well as on the boards of British opera and ballet companies. This book is an overview of his life and work.
"All Aickman admirers who are rightly cultish about this disquieting author, will want to read Crawford's useful monograph." Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World.
