Arthur Machen was a Welsh man of letters who wrote his most famous work in the late 1890s and early 1900s. While his body of work is wide, heâs perhaps best known for his supernaturallyflavored protohorror short stories. The Great God Panâperhaps his most famous workâalong with âThe Inmost Lightâ and The White People deeply influenced later writers like H. P. Lovecraft. Stephen King has gone so far as to call The Great God Pan âmaybe the best [horror story] in the English language.â
Besides his horror short stories, Machen also wrote a handful of post World War I supernatural shorts. One of these, âThe Bowmen,â was published in a popular newspaper and was implied to be nonfiction, leading to the creation of the âAngels of Monsâ urban legend. This collection includes several other World War I short stories published by Machen.
