Book Detective

A new collection of blood-blanching chillers by the famed authority on evil and the occult! Arthur Machen, a longtime connoisseur of the mystical forces of the supernatural, spins his tales of horror with a bizarre, shadowy quality certain to ensnare any reader's mind.
Machen was a relentless and educated seeker of truths in the sinister world beyond this life. His personal obsession was to delve to the very core of the malign, elemental forces that destroy modern man.
As a teller of tales, Machen was a master of technique. His craft and precision of language evoke dark, lingering vibrations from the ancient world. And it is a frightening world where fiendish spells suffocate unsuspecting souls.
Are you strong enough for this voyage backward into the fathoms of evil?
