About this title

About the Author

Arthur Machen (1863 1947) was born Arthur Llewellyn Jones in Caerleon in Wales. Moving to London, but living an impoverished existence, Machen eventually found success with his horror novella 'The Great God Pan', and soon after 'The Three Impostors'. Machen firmly established himself as a master storyteller of decadent supernatural horror, publishing several occult and weird tales with memorable plots and a real skill for the esoteric, creating dark and suspenseful atmospheres.

Review

"A dream of a book."  —Henry Miller

"One of the great masters of horror fiction."  —Clive Barker

"And it may be, when the final balance is struck, that there is more essential truth to be found in the tales told by such weavers of fantasy as Arthur Machen than in all the charts and graphs and statistics of the world."  —Philip Van Doren Stern
