| 1 | Short Fiction (Unabridged) | Arthur Machen |
| Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI voice. Arthur Machen was a Welsh man of letters who wrote his most famous work in the late 1890s and early 1900s. While his body of work is wide, he’s perhaps best known for his supernaturallyflavored protohorror short stories. The Great God Pan—perhaps his most famous work—along with “The Inmost Light” and The White People deeply influenced later writers like H. P. Lovecraft. Stephen King has gone so far as to call The Great God Pan “maybe the best [horror story] in the English language.” Besides his horror short stories, Machen also wrote a handful of post World War I supernatural shorts. One of these, “The Bowmen,” was published in a popular newspaper and was implied to be nonfiction, leading to the creation of the “Angels of Mons” urban legend. This collection includes several other World War I short stories published by Machen. |
