    HIEROGLYPHICS
    ARTHUR MACHEN
    Fascinating mystical and artistic creed and a good-natured marvel of circumlocution. Practically everything Machen wrote in the 1890s had the touch of genius, and this even applies to his non-fiction, though this is actually presented as a fictional account from Machen's familiar of imagination. Here Arthur Machen vaguely details how he separates high literature from mere readi...

    THE HOUSE OF SOULS
    ARTHUR MACHEN
    The House of Souls is a collection of supernatural, horror stories that will capture the reader's attention from the first paragraph. Machen, a major influence on later weird fiction writers such as Lovecraft and Ashton-Smith, creates eerie, atmospheric stories that imply rather than show. This literary conceit works well for the type of existential horror Machen posits lives b...

This book chronicles Machens life from his years as a child, to his early year in London. Unlike a typical autobiography, this doesn't follow a traditional chronological pattern...

    THE SECRET GLORY
    ARTHUR MACHEN

The school boy Andrew finds himself intensely drawn toward the ol...
