Watch here: Robert Aickman: Author of Strange Tales This documentary explores and provides new insights into the life and writing of British author Robert Aickman (1914-1981), with special reference to his celebrated 'strange stories' - modern ghost stories - his two volumes of autobiography and his campaigning work for the restoration of the British canal system. The film includes rare footage, recordings and photographs of Aickman, interviews with his friends and with writers Jeremy Dyson and Reggie Oliver, and dramatized excerpts of his stories. |

Thank you for posting that link, I really enjoyed that. I wish those audio recordings of him reading his stories was made available.

The credit belongs to Ray Russell & Rosalie Parker of Tartarus Press, who have now reissued Aickman's eight short story collections and both volumes of autobiography. |
