The Wine-Dark Sea by Robert Aickman
5.0
I'm starting to think that the Serbian horror edition from this particular book publisher is actually choosen well.
I am very picky with the horror genre, and I tend to feel indifferent with reading short stories;I was sure that this can't be the second short story horror book that I gave 5 stars in 2019- but alas, it was.
And the Serbian edition is beautiful.
The thing with these stories is that they don't have a definitive ending, it leaves more than one possibile ending and that actually makes them memorable. Nothing stays longer in the memory than the things we can't explain.
They are unsettling. And definitely not for everyone. I guess you have to pick it up and see if you like this writing style, 5/5.

Brilliant! RTC.
