Arthur Machen (1863-1947), popular Welsh writer of the bizarre and
fantastic, created some of the finest horror stories ever written.
He produced works that would later have a profound influence on
science fiction author H. P. Lovecraft, and the contemporary horror
genre as a whole. This novel contains what are considered to be
Machen's best works, written as a set of interwoven tales that
shocked his Victorian contemporaries with their risqu subject
matter and wonderfully eerie descriptions. The collection includes
Machen's first major success "The Great God Pan," "The Inmost
Light," "Shining Pyramid," and "Three Imposters." Set in the bleak
and seedy London alleyways, Machen elevates the stories to eerily
familiar heights, leaving many of the most disturbing and elusive
details up to the reader's imagination. Horror fans especially will
enjoy these classic tales of the mysterious and the macabre.
