Re: Oliver Onions

Your point, Bendk, and that of ThisCreeping Evil, is valid. I have a few invaluable Wordsworth editions myself. If only they had acknowledged the original editors who did all the work unearthing the...

Re: Robert Aickman

As you suggest, Aickman read widely, and acknowledged the influence of Mann directly. On one of the stories he also suggested the influence of Hesse.

Re: Oliver Onions

I really like this edition of Onions. Has a ton of stories and like you said, it won't break your wallet.[/quote]

Re: Robert Aickman

I am very grateful to Carl Rollyson at the New York Sun for his review of my Robert Aickman: An Attempted Biography. I liked his comment: "R.B. Russell is quite aware that a biography of Aickman can...

The first paperback edition of The Masques of Satan was traditionally printed, but it is now available as a print-on-demand paperback through Amazon. I'm not sure which edition you will have....

Re: Kate Hardy

What strikes me about Londonia is the idea of a dystopia in which people make the best of their environment, and even find contentment--pulling down so much of the modern infrastructure actually...

Re: R B Russell

I am really pleased that the book found a sympathetic reader in you, Zaharoff. Although I must admit to a certain amount of nostalgia for bygone bookshops, and certain dealers who made books...

There's nothing wrong with a well-reasoned rant!

Re: Robert Aickman

I am sure that snobbery often plays a part, but there is a point to sub-categories of literature. "Strange" or "Aickmanesque" fiction does mean something different to straightforward "horror". I've...

That is a very good question! I only met Elizabeth Jane Howard once, and I wish I'd asked her. But for some years, the only friends of his who could have been asked knew him AFTER World War Two.

Re: Robert Aickman

Editing Aickman's letters would be a big task, I imagine, and would require the generous cooperation of quite a few personal archives. I'd love the chance to read his letters to Kirby McCauley, but...

Re: Robert Aickman

Fair enough!

I though Aickman's comments most amusing, not least because, to an outsider, those lobbying for change on the railways would not look disimilar to those campaigning on behalf of the...

Re: Robert Aickman

Aickman was well aware of Henry James, obviously, and discussed him in letters, but I can't find a specific reference to the ghost stories.

Frustratingly, Aickman wrote to Donald Sidney-Fryer: ‘I...
