I am disapointed by the lack of Horlicks magazine...

This thread seems to be in a strange place, so I'm not sure this is the most appropriate place for it, but here's a link to a 2013 article by John Gray, about Machen:

Re: Arthur Machen
I have started preternaturalising 'The Three Impostors' here in preparation for the Sarob Press book with three new novellas inspired by this Machen work.

Re: Arthur Machen
I've not read much Machen - "The Great God Pan" and "The White People" didn't make an impression on - with the exception of the sinners and saint prologue to the former, which I found absolutely brilliant. I do, however, have the Tartarus edition of "House of Souls", which I'll read through in the future, including his two most famous stories. Machen might be an author I need to read multiple times to appreciate....

Re: Arthur Machen
Yeah, I really need to read more of his work today. So far all I've read is his The Hill of Dreams novel (which I rank as one of my favorite novels ever) and the Tartarus Press edition of Tales of the Horror and the Supernatural. I found that latter one hit or miss... always thought that "The Great God Pan" was a little overrated for some reason (I had previously read Kenneth Grant describing it as one of the most horrific stories ever written, so maybe there was a bit too much hype going into it for me). I agree that when he's on, he's on, though.
I found it amusing that Mark Samuels told me he loved all of Machen's work, even The Anatomy of Tobacco! |
