8vo; original blue boards, lettered in silver gilt to spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 256; portraits. Trace of spotting to top edge. Very good condition. "Arthur Machen (1863-1947), the master craftsman of the late-Victorian horror tale, has acquired international cult status through his powerfully woven fantasies such as The Great God Pan and The Three Imposters. Dubbed 'the Apostle of Wonder', Machen was acclaimed in his day as one of the finest stylists in English prose. His poetic novels, The Hill of Dreams and The Secret Glory, stand alone as classics of visionary literature. The first major assembly of his annotated correspondence spans sixty years and reveals the man behind the masterpieces.". Seller Inventory # 13769
