Machen's vivid prose and evocative descriptions create a haunting and unforgettable world that will stay with readers long after they have finished the book.They lay full length upon the turf; the rock between their faces and the Bowl, and now and again, Dyson, slouching his dark, soft hat over his forehead, put out the glint of an eye, and in a moment drew back, not daring to take a prolonged view. Again he laid an ear to the ground and listened, and the hours went by, and the darkness seemed to blacken, and the faint sigh of the wind was the only sound.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
