Undertow’s release of Aickman’s Heirs is only weeks away. Robert Aickman, one of the top two or three weird fiction/ghost story writers of all time, is more than deserving of such a wonderful tribute. Meanwhile, the collection is available for preorder here. Editor Simon Strantzas, who has assembled an incredible and impressive lineup, will inscribe every copy of the book that is preordered. Keep an eye on this one, folks. I’m confident it’s going to end up on some best-of lists at the end of the year.
