Introduction
by R.B. Russell
-
-
- We Are for the Dark is a
remarkable collection, and one that can be said to have kick-started the
‘Aickmanesque’ short story. Credit for the genesis of this sub-genre of
the ghost story should be given jointly to Robert Aickman and his
collaborator in We
Are for the Dark, Elizabeth Jane Howard. Contributing
three tales each, the authors were not identified with their own stories
when the book was first published in 1951.
-
We Are for the Dark contains six
stories: ‘The Trains’, ‘The View’ and ‘The Insufficient Answer’ are by
Robert Aickman, while ‘Three Miles Up’, ‘Left Luggage’ and ‘Perfect
Love’ are by Elizabeth Jane Howard.
R.B. Russell’s new
Introduction is based on his interview with the surviving author,
Elizabeth Jane Howard.

Review:
"For those who love unnerving but
elegant dark fiction but missed this book in the past, the present
beautiful volume represents a splendid opportunity to get (re)acquainted
with two masters of the genre." - Mario Guslandi, Specusphere Also
