In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalized late-Victorian readers. Machen's \"weird fiction\" has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro - and it remains no less unsettling today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new collection, which includes the complete novel \u003cem\u003eThe Three Impostors\u003c\/em\u003e as well as such celebrated tales as \u003cem\u003eThe Great God Pan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe White People\u003c\/em\u003e, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen's weird vision. The edition's introduction and notes contextualize the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Machen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford World's Classics Hardback Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198813163","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706864504969,"sku":"9780198813163","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_87074c1b-9cad-4cb2-9fb5-8550098487e1.jpg?v=1719467728","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-great-god-pan-and-other-horror-stories-9780198813163","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
