"Of living creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic
pitch, few if any can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen."
-H.P. Lovecraft
Actor, journalist, devotee of Celtic Christianity and the Holy
Grail legend, Welshman Arthur Machen is considered one of the
fathers of weird fiction, a master of mayhem whose work has drawn
comparisons to H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. Readers will
find the perfect introduction to his style in this new collection.
With the title story, an exercise in the bizarre that leaves the
reader disoriented virtually from the first page, Machen turns even
fundamental truths upside down. "There have been those who have
sounded the very depths of sin," explains the character Ambrose,
"who all their lives have never done an 'ill deed.'"
