Arthur Machen

$ 3.99

The supernatural tales of the Welsh mystic author Arthur Machen have played an instrumental, though in recent times semi-forgotten, part in the history of horror fiction. Famous works such as ‘The Great God Pan’ and ‘The Hill of Dreams’ have intrigued readers for over a hundred years, retaining the same raw power that first shocked Victorian readers. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook offers the complete works of Arthur Machen, with numerous illustrations, informative introductions, rare texts and the usual Delphi bonus material.
