The supernatural tales of the Welsh mystic author Arthur Machen have played an instrumental, though in recent times semi-forgotten, part in the history of horror fiction. Famous tales such as 'The Great God Pan' and 'The Three Impostors' have shocked and intrigued readers for over a hundred years, retaining the same raw power that first outraged Victorian readers.
