Synopsis

Arthur Machen (1863–1947) was a Welsh novelist and essayist, described by H. P. Lovecraft as a creator of “cosmic fear” raised to an artistic pitch. His work is associated with pagan themes and the occult, yet is presented here as writing that reaches beyond straightforward supernatural horror.

This volume includes The Great God Pan, an atmospheric tale centred on a series of mysterious suicides, and a selection of short stories regarded among the earliest works of horror. The title story’s suggestive visions of decadent sexuality caused scandal in Victorian London, and Machen’s fiction has since influenced later writers and creators.
