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.
Perhaps less well known, and in an altogether more sensitively supernatural vein is 'A Fragment of Life', a quietly ambitious and affecting tale of a seemingly ordinary sub¬urban couple who receive inti¬ma¬tions of a much more numinous way of life.
But the tour-de-force of the vol¬ume is Machen's occult masterpiece 'The White People', a 'stream-of-consciousness' tale far ahead of its time, written with the utmost empathy and panache.
This new edition of The House of Souls collects together some of Machen's essential writing, augmented by Sidney H. Sime's extraordinary original frontispiece and board illustrations.
