Re: Robert Aickman
Simon-I had the exact same habit and motivation when I was a child. I've often thought that this tendency to anthropomorphise my toys figured into my later literary/artistic preoccupations-off the top of my head I can come up with (besides Ligotti) Hoffman 'The Sandman', the works of Hans Bellmer and to a certain extent those of Joseph Cornell, the films of the Brothers Quay, Bruno Schulz. I'm not even digging here. Do you find that you to have a certain preoccupation with inanimate object becoming animate? Where do you think this comes from? Not to quiz you here or become invasive, these are just things I've been puzzling out myself and would be interested in your perspective.
