To Whom It May Concern: In spite of my overall impression that the stories in this book are, without exception, very puzzling, nontheless, I have a strong feeling that they are all very well written (especially my favorite: "The Inner Room"). As to what the author is trying to convey to the reader, many interpretations are undoubtedly possible. Time permitting, I may google Robert Aickman to investigate this question further.
