» Schlaflos: Makabre Erzählungen
Robert Aickman

A second collection of six tales in German translation by Reinhard Merker (except The Trains, translated by Irene Martschukat). The book's title translates as Sleepless: Macabre Stories, a reference to Into the Wood, the last story in the collection. The front cover appears to depict a scene from The Cicerones.
