This should have been an easy five stars, but it is marred by some baffling decisions. Arthur Machen, author of one of my all-time favourite novels The Hill of Dreams, along with a selection of truly genius horror tales I can endlessly re-read, was a writer who must be judiciously presented to a mod

"Oh day and night, but this is wondrous strange!" Those words from Hamlet kept coursing through my mind as I read this marvelous collection.

Highly recommended for Lovecraft fans, the White People is not some sort of supremacist fiction if any are frightened by the name.
