    Synopsis
    Arthur Machen produced some of the most evocative weird fiction in all literary history. Written with impeccably mellifluous prose, infused with a powerful mystical vision, and imbued with a wonder and terror that he felt with every fiber of his being, his novels and tales will survive when works of far greater technical accomplishment fall by the wayside. The Terror is a short novel that inspired a host of imitations of its basic plot -- animals turning against human beings -- ranging from Philip Macdonald¿s brief tale "Our Feathered Friends" to Daphne du Maurier¿s much better-known (but sadly mediocre) novelette, "The Birds." The Terror reveals several features characteristic of Machen¿s later fiction. The first, perhaps, is frank autobiography. The first-person narrative voice not only seems to be Machen himself, but he plays upon his own role as a journalist and reporter., H. P. Lovecraft declared Arthur Machen (1863-1947) to be a modern master of fiction who could create "cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch." This third volume of Machen's work contains an influential short novel, "The Terror," as well as twelve short stories by turns unusual, comical, mordant, and investigative. All are rarely seen now. A short essay, "Literature of the Occult," completes the book. The seam of events uniting reality and the mystical is frequently alluded to or described.This book is one in an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction. Call of Cthulhu(R) fiction focuses on single entities, related topics, and authors significant to readers and fans of H. P. Lovecraft.ContentsIntroduction by S.T.
