		the great god pan what can i say about a writer whose influence has been acknowledged by h. p. lovecraft, peter straub, t. e. d. klein, m. john harrison and clive barker? perhaps that he managed to communicate a sense of the inexpressibly and awesomely supernatural with more power than he ever knew. - ramsey campbell click for availability!

All of Machen's work is steeped in Welsh tradition. Highly descriptive writing about Welsh landscape and people.
