About Arthur Machen
Arthur Machen (1863–1947) was a Welsh author and mystic, best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His first major success came in 1894, with the novella The Great God Pan. Machen’s legacy remains formidable; his work has influenced countless other artists, and is seen as setting the stage for—amongst other things—the Cthulhu horrors of H. P. Lovecraft.
