Mr. Aickaman's Air Rifle
Mr. Aickman's Air Rifle was my favorite of the trio for this week. I thought it was interesting, hilarious, and definitely different than many of the other stories we've read this semester. Because the plot concerned potentially real men with real lives, I had an easier time getting into the story and believing it.
I loved the way the men all had the same scary expereince as children with the various guns and abandoned houses. I wonder if their bad relationships with their parents were reflected in these houses, which could represent their barren and lonely childhoods. And who is the mysterious woman that they all know and possibly had affairs with? Talk about a real thriller!
And can you believe Straub also wrote Lapland, or Film Noir??!!

I'll give you guys eeiree, unsettling, mysterious, and interesting love triangles...but not my fav...too slow placed for my taste...boring everyday life and convos until peeps start to disappear and crazy crap...that was fun
I was kind of prepared not to like it after Lapland but I actually liked this one a lot better. It actually made sense the first time around and it held my attention. It was just so creepy. Everyone disappeared off the floor and the ones who were left were not whole anymore. Totally creepy.
