A review by halibut
Cold Hand in Mine by Robert Aickman

5.0

In my favourite of these stories, mundane situations constantly feel in the edge of turning, like some awful thing will soon become apparent, but that feeling is stretched out, and what the threat was left vague. An unsettling feeling. He has a way of putting sentences together that fits with this, very often the key bits to make sense of the sent nice appear quite late on.
The Swords, The Hostel and Niemandwasser were particular favourites for me.
