Those are Aickman's two best collections for my money. They certainly contain a few of my favourite stories (The Same Dog, The Next Glade, Ravissante). But I don't like Pages from a Young Girl's Journal either.

That said, the other two Faber collections are incredible too. Compulsory Games from NYRB collection is more uneven but is worth it for Hand In Glove and The Fully-Conducted Tour alone. The Tartarus editions are very nice but there's only a couple of stories in there not anthologised in the available paperbacks. As far as his short fiction is concerned, he doesn't really miss at all. Even my least favourite stories have his beguiling prose.
