Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was born Arthur Llewellyn Jones in Caerleon in Wales. Moving to London, but living an impoverished existence, Machen eventually found success with his horror novella 'The Great God Pan', and soon after 'The Three Impostors'. Machen firmly established himself as a master storyteller of decadent supernatural horror, publishing several occult and weird tales with memorable plots and a real skill for the esoteric, creating dark and suspenseful atmospheres. Steven Prizeman, MA MRes Lond, is an independent writer and historian. His principal interests are seventeenth-century satire, almanacs, heresiography, and political and religious controversy. He is also interested in writing about witchcraft - and the 'weird fiction' of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that drew so heavily upon it. He can be found at stevenprizeman.academia.edu. |
