High praise for ‘Aickman’s Heirs’

Reviewer Des Lewis has high praise for ‘Aickman’s Heirs.’

“This book as a whole is a delight, truly worthy of its connection with Aickman. And I don’t say that lightly.

These authors seem to be upon the fulcrum or cusp of the act of automatically writing with the preternatural power of Aickman within them and of simply writing their own diverse stories in his tradition. The creative tension between these two phenomena has produced a number of masterpieces in their own right and an overall communal gestalt that is stunning.

I may be wrong but this is possibly the first multi-authored anthology of explicitly Aickman-connected stories that have deliberately been put together as such with his name in its overall title. If so, it is certain to make literary history. Deservedly so, as it happens.”
