Col Shrt Strs-Aiken

Having read a one or two of Conrad Aiken's short stories in college, I really only remembered "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" which just really struck me as unique and having a dark allure. I bought this book and re-read several others including "Mr. Arcularis" which is also unique and such a quick, easy read thats so easy to get into like a quick before-bed read. That story is reminiscent of "snows of kilamanjaro" by hemingway. I've read others of his short stories here in this book and am continually amazed by Conrad Aiken. I definitely give this one five stars!
