Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"A dream of a book."  —Henry Miller

"One of the great masters of horror fiction."  —Clive Barker



"And it may be, when the final balance is struck, that there is more essential truth to be found in the tales told by such weavers of fantasy as Arthur Machen than in all the charts and graphs and statistics of the world."  —Philip Van Doren Stern
