This vintage book contains a collection of chilling and macabre stories by Welsh author and mystic Arthur Machan. The stories include: “The Brightest Boy”, “The Tree of Life”, “Opening the Door”, “The Marriage of Panurge”, “The Holy Things”, “Psychology”, “The Turanians”, “The Rose Garden”, “The Ceremony”, “The Soldiers' Rest”, “The Happy Children”, “The Cosy Room”, “Munitions of War”, “The Great Return”, and more. These unsettling supernatural tales are not to be missed by lovers of horror or mystery fiction, and they would make for worthy additions to allied collections. Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947) was a Welsh author and renowned mystic during the 1890s and early 20th century who garnered literary acclaim for his contributions to the supernatural, horror, and fantasy fiction genres. His seminal novella “The Great God Pan” (1890) has become a classic of horror fiction, with Stephen King describing it as one of the best horror stories ever written in the English language. Other notable fans of his gruesome tales include William Butler Yeats and Arthur Conan Doyle; and his work has been compared to that of Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
