Written during the First World War and first published in 1922, “Far Off Things” is the first volume of Arthur Machan's autobiography. Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947) was a Welsh author and renowned mystic during the 1890s and early 20th century who garnered literary acclaim for his contributions to the supernatural, horror, and fantasy fiction genres. His seminal novella “The Great God Pan” (1890) has become a classic of horror fiction, with Stephen King describing it as one of the best horror stories ever written in the English language. Other notable fans of his gruesome tales include William Butler Yeats and Arthur Conan Doyle; and his work has been compared to that of Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde. This volume offers a fascinating insight into both this important time in history and the life and mind of Arthur Machan, a modern master of supernatural and horror fiction. Not to be missed by fans of the genre and those with an interest in Arthur Machan's fascinating life. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
