Publisher's Synopsis
The House of Souls, first published in 1906, is an omnibus edition of some of Arthur Machen's best-known, controversial, and curious fiction. It contains 'The Great God Pan', his notorious 1890s tale of science and sex, and its accomp¬anying story 'The Inmost Light'. These appeared first in John Lane's sensational Keynotes series, as did the portmanteau novel The Three Impos¬t¬ors, containing 'The Novel of the White Powder'-another story of science gone bad-and the classic folk-horror tale 'The Novel of the Black Seal'. 'The Red Hand' is a 'shock¬ing' tale of curious sur¬vivals from the past lurking just beneath the surface of every¬day London.
