https://azkakirimmasukan.blogspot.com/?book=0571311741 Cold Hand in Mine was first published in the UK in 1975 and in the US in 1977. The story Pages from a Young Girl s Journal won the Aickman World Fantasy Award in 1975. It was originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1973 before appearing in this collection.Cold Hand in Mine stands as one of Aickman s best collections and contains eight stories that show off his powers as a strange story writer to the full, being more ambiguous than standard ghost stories., Throughout the stories the reader is introduced to a variety of characters, from a man who spends the night in a Hospice to a German aristocrat and a woman who sees an image of her own soul. There is also a nod to the conventional vampire story ( Pages from a Young Girl s Journal ) but all the stories remain unconventional and inconclusive, which perhaps makes them all the more startling and intriguing. Of all the authors of uncanny tales, Aickman is the best ever . ., . His tales literally haunt me; his plots and his turns of phrase run through my head at the most unlikely moments. Russell Kirk
