...."Arthur Machen (1863-1947) is less heralded than his countrymen Dylan Thomas, Richard Llewellyn or Raymond Williams but remains a fascinating character and one of the most distinctive writers in any language.

A specialist in supernatural and fantasy fiction, he is best known for his novella The Great God Pan (1894), which was hailed by no less an authority than Stephen King as, "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language".
.....


Within the horror genre, Machen remains a giant whose influence has been acknowledged by everyone from HP Lovecraft and King to Clive Barker, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and even True Detective's Nic Pizzolatto, who drew on the wellspring of weird fiction for the Carcosa and Yellow King conceits in that show's stellar first series."
