ROBERT AICKMAN: AN INTRODUCTION

[Simon]

Looks interesting...if only I had a kindle...

I am a bit of a luddite and I definitely won't read a book on a PC. Even if it is for an interesting book as this.

Maybe one day I'll get an e-reader...

Great, don't forget to report back here on your readings...

Thanks for the tip - have downloaded.

Have read this now - it was quite interesting. Best for me was the small biography, as I didn't know much about Aickman's life. The discussion of the novels & stories was interesting but I skipped some bits about those I haven't read for fear of spoilers. The main thrust of the literary criticism bit is essentially Aickman's closeness to the surrealists.
