Description

A young man's quest for beauty through literature, love, drugs and dreams becomes a mystical, lyrical classic from the father of supernatural horror. There is a foreword by Catherine Fisher one of whose acclaimed "Oracle" trilogy was shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize and is an international bestseller translated into over 20 languages. Originally published in 1907, it is widely regarded as Machen's finest lyrical work.

Author Biography:

Arthur Machen a contemporary of Arrhur Conan Doyle. Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats all of whom admired his work tremendously. His legacy is as interesting as his work. His great literary significance was recognized by H. P. Lovecraft who named Machen as one of the four "modern masters" of supernatural horror. His immediate influence in the US is recognisable in the development of the pulp horror found in magazines like "Weird Tales" and on such notable fantasy writers as Robert E. Howard. He is clearly influential in the work of Peter Straub, Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell and T. E. D. Klein among others. "The Shining Pyramid" was filmed for television in 1980 and films with Machen influences or references include John Carpenter's 1980 film "The Fog" (which features a character named "Mr. Machen").
