Description
Robert Aickman's "Compulsory Games" presents a unique and unsettling world of the strange and unknown. His stories are not about thrills and gore, but about the radical overturning of the laws of nature and everyday life. By exploring the "void behind the face of order," Aickman crafts tales that are both surreal and thought-provoking. In this collection, Aickman's distinctive voice and vision are on full display. His stories are confounding and uniquely his own, offering an unequaled introduction to a profoundly original master of the uncanny. With its blend of the ordinary and the bizarre, "Compulsory Games" is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the strange and the unknown.
