Book excerpt: 'Reading Robert Aickman is like watching a magician work, and very often I'm not even sure what the trick was. All I know is that he did it beautifully.' Neil Gaiman For fans of the BBC's Inside Number 9 and The League of GentlemenAickman's 'strange stories' (his preferred term) are constructed immaculately, the neuroses of his characters painted in subtle shades. He builds dread by the steady accrual of realistic detail, until the reader realises that the protagonist is heading towards their doom as if in a dream. Dark Entries was first published in 1964 and contains six curious and macabre stories of love, death and the supernatural, including the classic story 'Ringing the Changes'. Robert Aickman (1914-1981) was the grandson of Richard Marsh, a leading Victorian novelist of the occult. Though his chief occupation in life was first as a conservationist of England's canals he eventually turned his talents to writing what he called 'strange stories.' Dark Entries (1964) was his first full collection, the debut in a body of work that would inspire Peter Straub to hail Aickman as 'this century's most profound writer of what we call horror stories.'

Book excerpt: Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. In perhaps the most magnificent of what he called his 'strange stories', Robert Aickman blurs the lines between memory, premonition and the hallucinated life.Lene, a woman now recovering from the losses of the Second World War, recalls a gothic dolls' house of her childhood and the way in which its uncanny inhabitants entered her dreams. Most chillingly, the geometries of the house didn't add up; there had to be a secret room inside it.Years later, she comes across a life-size version in a wood not marked on any map . . .

Download or read book Ringing the Changes written by Stephanie Strickland and published by Counterpath. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A code-generated project for print, Ringing the Changes is an homage to the art of bell-ringing. Ordinary folk in seventeenth-century England sought to ring all 7! (7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1=5040 ) permutations—all the different arrangements or “changes” possible—with seven bells. Their quest to perform mathematical patterns with their bodies is re-inaugurated here, using code and cited language. A full peal signifies all permutations, but shorter “method” sequences are rung today, such as the Scientific Triples peal used in this Python code. Method performances visit a number of changes, but only once each. In the ringing world, this constraint is called truth; to repeat any row would make the performance false. A random element has also been added: each bell is given 23 sounds, analogous to overtones. Each is a voice, a short text to read, or hear, or view as a score. In any run of the code, one of these 23 is randomly assigned to its bell—subject to the constraint that all 23 choices must be allotted before any are repeated. Six of the bells have one preponderant source, cited at length; a medley of others briefly appear. Each text, over the course of 161 changes (here, pages), is repeated seven times. The words sampled in Ringing the Changes allude to changes that need to be rung—that is, considered and heard—in our lives and communities. By permuting and re-aligning these texts, a generated order makes plain how concerns can be variously mapped and, thus, variously understood; by enacting the differences ordering and context make, it helps us to refuse a “canonical” order, or hierarchy, of attention, such as is normally enforced by print presentation, thereafter to be lionized and remediated as “true” or “fake.”

Book excerpt: Change-ringing is a form of traditional music based on sequences, permutations and patterns. It is most familiar to the public as the sound of church bells. Change-ringing can also be performed on handbells, where it becomes a contrast to the melodic music of handbell choirs. This book guides readers through the elementary stages of change-ringing on handbells, from first principles to a standard repertoire. No previous experience of change-ringing is necessary. The authors have been ringing handbells for over 30 years, and blog about their experiences at www.handbellringing.co.uk. "There have been no books dedicated to the subject of change ringing on handbells for over three decades. For several years, Simon and Tina's blog has provided us with fascinating insights into the experiences of a progressive handbell band, sharing useful hints and tips along the way. Based upon this experience, they have written this comprehensive and up-to-date guide to ringing handbells from first principles through to Treble Bob Major. It is expertly written and illustrated, explaining everything you need to know to make progress, in easy steps. I am confident it will become a classic." - Graham John
