Synopsis

Mist and Mystery: Stories, Reviews and Articles by Arthur Machen

"And here, though we are initiated in the mysteries, we are assuredly not in the mists."

We are ushered onto a new journey into unknown regions where wonders await, yet the path is narrow and fringed by veiled dangers. Fortunately for the reader, there are few guides as experienced or intriguing as Arthur Machen, a man of Gwent. In this new collection of rare tales and forgotten articles, Machen directs us through mist and mystery to "a secret path leading to an undiscovered country."

In the tradition of classic collections such as Dog and Duck, Mist and Mystery is an open invitation to recover both enchantment and romance.

About this title

About the Authors

Arthur Machen (1863-1947) charted a lonely and curious course through literature. Though never widely known, his work in horror fiction has gained him an appreciation from a small circle of admirers over the years. Yet, as adept as he may have been in creating tales of horror, a careful study of his body of work illustrates there is more to explore and discover about the Welsh writer. At times, one finds a brilliant essayist or a pragmatic journalist, a gifted storyteller of mystery and fantasy, or a Christian apologist. Despite this breadth, Machen worked in an idiosyncratic style and kept doggedly to the theme which concerned him most: ecstasy as the highest purpose of art and that which is most beneficial to Man.
