The story 'Pages from a Young Girl's Journal' won the Aickman World Fantasy Award in 1975. It was originally published in \u003ci\u003eThe Magazine of Fantasy \u0026amp; Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e in 1973 before appearing in this collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCold Hand in Mine\u003c\/i\u003e stands as one of Aickman's best collections and contains eight stories that show off his powers as a 'strange story' writer to the full, being more ambiguous than standard ghost stories. Throughout the stories the reader is introduced to a variety of characters, from a man who spends the night in a Hospice to a German aristocrat and a woman who sees an image of her own soul. There is also a nod to the conventional vampire story ('Pages from a Young Girl's Journal') but all the stories remain unconventional and inconclusive, which perhaps makes them all the more startling and intriguing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571311743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Robert Aickman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638825775260,"sku":"9780571311743","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7298c10f-5219-4858-80fc-f289df15afe7.jpg?v=1603848284","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cold-hand-in-mine-9780571311743","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
