Cold Hand in Mine by Robert Aickman

Contains eight stories that show off the author's powers as a 'strange story' writer to the full, being more ambiguous than standard ghost stories. This title includes stories that introduces the reader 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.

Robert Fordyce Aickman was born in 1914 in London. He was married to Edith Ray Gregorson from 1941 to 1957. In 1946 the couple, along with Tom and Angela Rolt, set up the Inland Waterways Association to preserve the canals of Britain. It was in 1951 that Aickman, in collaboration with Elizabeth Jane Howard, published his first ghost stories in a volume entitled We Are for the Dark. Aickman went on to publish seven more volumes of 'strange stories' as well as two novels and two volumes of autobiography. He also edited the first eight volumes of The Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories. He died in February 1981.
