Both use images of journeys through the countryside to evoke a sense of place and an innate spiritualism found in nature. In addition to these two essays, taken from a stand-alone chapbook publication are two thematically similar poems by Machen that evoke folk legends of his native Wales. The collection is kicked off by an insightful appraisal of Machen's literary career and his place in the pantheon of great authors of late Victorian period literature by Vincent Starlett. 1 - I.

The story is fictitious, developed through a combination of a patriotic short story by Arthur Machen, rumours, mass hysteria and urban legend, claimed visions after the battle and also possibly deliberately seeded propaganda. 1 - Introduction2 - The Bowmen; The Soldiers' Rest; The Monstrance3 - The Dazzling Light; The Bowmen and Other Noble Ghosts; Postscrip The Great God PanRead by Ethan RamptonRunning Time:1:59:35 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Horror & Supernatural Fiction"The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, "The Inmost Light") in 1894. On publication it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. Machen’s story was only one of many at the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism. The title was taken from the poem "A Musical Instrument" published in 1862 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which the first line of every stanza ends "... the great god Pan." 1 - The Experiment2 - Mr. Clarke's Memoirs3 - The City of Resurrections4 - The Discovery in Paul Street5 - The Letter of Advice6 - The Suicides7 - The Encounter in Soho8 - The Fragments The Great ReturnRead by Ben TuckerRunning Time:01:16:16 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Fantastic FictionThe small Welsh town of Llantrisant has experienced something unusual...

The Mass of the Sangraal The Hill of Dreams Read by Mark NelsonRunning Time:07:06:01 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Horror & Supernatural FictionThe novel recounts the life of a young man, Lucian Taylor, focusing on his dreamy childhood in rural Wales, in a town based on Caerleon. The Hill of Dreams of the title is an old Roman fort where Lucian has strange sensual visions, including ones of the town in the time of Roman Britain. Later it describes Lucian's attempts to make a living as an author in London, enduring poverty and suffering in the pursuit of art. Generally thought to be Machen's greatest work, it was little noticed on its publication in 1907 save in a glowing review by Alfred Douglas. It was actually written between 1895 and 1897 and has elements of the style of the decadent and aesthetic movement of the period, seen through Machen's own mystical preoccupations.

The White People is a highly influential horror story of a young girl’s discovery of ancient magic. It was written in the late 1890s as part of a longer unfinished novel, some sketches from which went into his book Ornaments in Jade. Fans of supernatural fiction often cite this story as a classic in the genre.
