Arthur Machen is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His novella The Great God Pan (1890; 1894) has garnered a reputation as a classic of horror, with Stephen King describing it as ‘Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language.’
Machen was a great enthusiast for literature that expressed the ‘rapture, beauty, adoration, wonder, awe, mystery, sense of the unknown, desire for the unknown’ that he summed up in the word ecstasy.
