Description
Dark Entries is a masterclass in building dread through subtle, realistic detail. Robert Aickman's 'strange stories' are crafted with precision, revealing the neuroses of his characters in subtle shades. As the protagonist navigates a dreamlike world, the reader is inexorably drawn towards a terrible fate. First published in 1964, this collection of six stories explores themes of love, death, and the supernatural. Among them is the story 'Ringing the Changes', a testament to Aickman's skill at weaving macabre narratives. The author's unique voice and style have inspired many writers, including Peter Straub, who hailed him as 'this century's most profound writer of what we call horror stories'. Aickman's work is a testament to his versatility and talent, and Dark Entries remains a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
