Go Back at Once

A gloriously eccentric fantasy by the "most profound writer of what we call horror stories." -Peter Straub Go Back at Once, completed by Robert Aickman in 1975, is a previously unpublished novel set in the 1920s, telling the story of two young Englishwomen. It is in many ways a very personal fantasy for Aickman, reflecting his agreement with Shelley that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind and Nietzsche's belief that "art alone could hold the key to human life in the future." A fascinating and very readable glimpse into the mind of an always intriguing writer.
