| Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was the pen name of Arthur Llewellyn Jones, a Welsh author and mystic. Machen is best known as a writer in the supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction genres. His popular novella The Great God Pan (1890; 1894) is considered a horror classic. It was inspired by the author’s experiences at the ruins of a pagan temple in Wales. The first chapter appeared in 1890 in the magazine The Whirlwind, and the complete work was published as a book in 1894. The Three Impostors or The Transmutations is an episodic horror novel first published in 1895. Comprising several weird tales, the story culminates in a denouement of deadly terror associated with a secret society indulging in debauched pagan rites. Two of the stories in The Three Impostors, "The Novel of the Black Seal" and "The Novel of the White Powder", have frequently been anthologized as individual stories. |
