The Wine-Dark Sea is a collection of eight unsettling “strange stories” by Robert Aickman, one of the most distinctive writers of uncanny fiction and literary horror.

First published in 1988, the collection includes stories that build slowly through atmosphere, unease, psychological tension, and dreamlike disturbance. Aickman’s horror is subtle rather than obvious, often beginning in ordinary settings before slipping into ambiguity, dread, obsession, and the unexplained.
