✦ Synopsis

Edited by Simon Strantzas, Aickman's Heirs is an anthology of strange, weird tales by modern visionaries of weird fiction, in the milieu of Robert Aickman, the master of strange and ambiguous stories.

"Robert Aickman was a master of what he called 'strange stories,' and though his fiction has been categorized as horror, it's actually it's own beast. As we move further away from the horror boom of the last century and its focus on the mainstream appeal of small town horrors, we are encountering successive generations of writers open to exploring new avenues of the subtly bizarre, an area Aickman frequently mastered. This book is a sampler of how Robert Aickman's work has beoome a significant source of inspiration for contemporary writers."
