Between Two Worlds. Tales of Mystery & The Supernatural wer. angielska - Arthur Machen - książka
Producent: Wordsworth Editions
Stephen Carver presents a collection of works by Arthur Machen, whom H.P. Lovecraft lauded as a master of cosmic horror raised to its highest art form. Lovecraft once remarked that few creators could match Machen's versatility in evoking such fear. In Machen's eerie narratives, readers encounter a mysterious beauty whose presence is linked to suicides, a child lured into witchcraft, legendary archers from Agincourt assisting modern soldiers, and animals bizarrely turning against humans. Furthermore, a slice of paradise mysteriously appears amidst a London suburb. H.P. Lovecraft acknowledged Machen's unique ability to reveal a mystical and eternal reality that lies just beyond our mundane perceptions. Depending on one's insight, this hidden realm could be wondrous or horrifying. Machen used horror and weird fantasy to explore these revelations, aiming to uncover the essence of 'Sorcery and sanctity.'This comprehensive collection includes many of Machen’s short stories, especially his acclaimed work "The Great God Pan," stories of sinister 'Little People' beneath Wales’ landscapes, and the unsettling novella "The Terror." The anthology's contents range from "Strange Story of a Red Jar" to "The Exalted Omega," offering readers a journey through Machen’s unparalleled horror fiction. Highlights such as "The Shining Pyramid," "The White People," and "The Bowmen" showcase his skill in blending the supernatural with the everyday, drawing readers into his richly imagined and unsettling worlds.
