While some of his stories don't quite qualify as horror, enough do to make him a major figure on the British side of the pond. Silly me. As I've been re-reading his work for years there's no excuse - I simply forgot.valdemarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829872956512652469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173887948269031901.post-84741661256208924282015-09-02T17:49:34.104+00:002015-09-02T17:49:34.104+00:00What about Robert Aickman?

I think quiet horror can be supernatural or 'fantastic' to some degree, but is always grounded firmly in realism and tends to be set in the present. Weird fiction can range more widely and be more up-front about its strangeness. And of course weird fiction isn't necessarily horrific.valdemarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829872956512652469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173887948269031901.post-3972074689471220862015-08-30T14:50:22.994+00:002015-08-30T14:50:22.994+00:00Very interesting!
