Traja podvodníci
Slávny welšský prozaik Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947) vytvoril zbierku mrazivo tajomných poviedok, ktoré prepojil do brilantného neo-gotického románového celku s prekvapivou pointou. Dvojica zanietených milovníkov života a klasickej literatúry sa čoraz hlbšie zaplieta do vražedného sprisahania, ktorého temné chápadlá sa rozprestierajú nad zdanlivo pokojnými uličkami londýnskeho predmestia. Obaja priatelia netušia, že vďaka zdanlivo náhodne vypočutým bizarným príbehom sa stávajú súčasťou obludného plánu okultného podsvetia.Román Traja podvodníci (1895) patrí medzi Machenove najznámejšie a najrešpektovanejšie diela a ich autor je považovaný za jedného z najinšpiratívnejších tvorcov hororovej literatúry.Doslov: Michal Havran.

Pahorek snů
Román Arthura Machena Pahorek snů je snovou autobigrafií jednoho z největších spisovatelů horrorové fikce z období fin de siecle a první poloviny 20. století. Autor uznávaný Lovecraftem a Kingem zde líčí svě dětství a dospívání v přízračném městečku, kdysi významné římské pevnosti, a následný vzestupný pád nadějného spisovatele, či šílence, který se upsal literatuře. Tento, možná neskutečný příběh jeho života je holdem imaginaci venkova i města a všem jejich tajemstvím. Arthur Machen nepsal horrory, ale vždy byl věrný mystériu, skutečnostem světa za oponou, které můžeme odhalit, ale nikdy zcela a úplně vyslovit.
Hill of Dreams, the
Often compared to Huysmans'' A Rebours, The Hill of Dreams is a meditation on alienation and the lure of the fantasticalFrom his earliest literary experimentation, Arthur Machen refused to sit in his own time, clawing his way back to a past inhabited by false gods and terrifying fairies. The Hill of Dreams thus performs a kind of reverse archeology. Instead of the writerly excavation of character development and world-building, Machen entombs his main character, Lucian Taylor, in his own mind, cutting him off from the living world of sensation. Lucian journeys "all the long way from the known to the unknown," into the ruins of an old Roman fort, imbued with the Celtic magic that stirred in the Welsh hills of Machen''s childhood. From this idyll, the story becomes a classic künstlerroman, following Lucian to the gray streets of London where he succumbs to his worse nature. Written in 1897 but not published until 1907, the book was, in Machen''s own estimation, his masterpiece. All Mandylion books come adorned in a translucent dust jacket that emphasizes the unique material qualities of the book.Arthur Machen (1863–1947) was born Caerleon, Wales. His most well-known works include The Great God Pan and Ornaments of Jade. He has influenced writers as diverse as H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges and Sylvia Townsend Warner.
Hrůza
Během první světové války dojde v Británii k řadě nevysvětlitelných úmrtí a vražd. „Výbuch munice v Severním distriktu: mnoho smrtelných úrazů." Jeden z pracujících přidal hrozné detaily: Tváře mrtvol byly zohavené, jako by je ohryzal nějaký hlodavec. Střecha budovy však byla zcela nepoškozena.
Arthur Machen se narodil v malé velšské vesničce, jež na přelomu 4. a 5. století byla sídlem dvora krále Artuše a odkud Rytíři kulatého stolu vyjížděli hledat svatý gráll. Byl členem tajné společnosti anglických zasvěcenců Zlatý úsvit, k níž patřil mj. i Bram Stoker. Živil se jako herec, novinář, ale hlavně spisovatel, jehož obdivovali G. B. Shaw i T. S. Eliot. Je autorem mnoha mystických a strašidelných románů a novel, z nichž mezi nejznámější a nejoblíbenější patří Vnitřní světlo (1894), Bílý prach (1896) a především Velký bůh Pan (1894).

The Great God Pan
'I will not read it; I should never sleep again'
A doctor performs an experiment on a young woman that goes horribly wrong, and a series of increasingly strange events follow: sinister woodland rituals, disappearances, suicides... Viewed as immoral and decadent on first publication in 1894, Machen's weird tale has since established itself as a classic of its genre and has been described by Stephen King as 'one of the best horror stories ever written. Maybe the best in the English language'.
