This first volume of Chaosium's Arthur Machen collection begins with the chilling "The Three Impostors" in its complete form, including the rarely seen sections "The Decorative Imagination" and "The Novel of the Iron Maid." Rounding out the first volume are "The Great God Pan," "The Inmost Light," and "The Shining Pyramid," all are excellent tales. Introduction by S.T. Joshi. This book is part of an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction and related topics.

Description: Born in Wales in 1863, Machen was a London journalist for much of his life.Among his fiction, he may be best known for the allusive, haunting title story of this book, &"The White People", which H.P. Lovecraft thought to be the second greatest horror story ever written (after Blackwood's "The Wilows"). This wide ranging collection also includes the crystalline novelette "A Fragment of Life", & "The Angel of Mons" (a story so widely reported that it was imagined true by millions in the grim initial days of the Great War), and "The Great Return" telling of the stately visions which graced the Welsh village of Llantristant for a time. Four more tales and the poetical "Ornaments in Jade" are all finely told. This is the second Machen volume edited by S. T. Joshi and published by Chaosium. The first volume was The Three Impostors.

Description: Two works — one of imaginative and decadent horror, the other lyrical and introspective — comprise these books by one of the pioneers of supernatural fiction. The Great God Pan scandalized Victorian London with its suggestive visions of sexuality and paganism. The Hill of Dreams is a semi-autobiographical work about Machen's battles with his inner demons.

About the Author
Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was a Welsh journalist, novelist, and short story writer. He is best known for his supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. He translated several books from French including Memoirs of Casanova. His lively English style generated demand of his translated editions for many years. Many consider the novels The House of Souls and The Hill of Dreams to be his best work.
He was a close friend to the writer and occultist A. E. Waite. Through Waite’s influence, Machen joined athe Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. However, Machen’s involvement with the organization was not lasting. Machen investigated Celtic Christianity, the Holy Grail and King Arthur and wrote about those topics in Lord Alfred Douglas’s The Academy. He theorized that the legends of the Grail were based on rites of the Celtic Church. These ideas also featured strongly his novel The Secret Glory. This was first use in fiction of the idea of the Grail surviving into modern times. This idea has resurfaced in Dan Brown's writings and in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
