Book excerpt: Arthur Machen (1863-1947), al igual que su contemporáneo Lord Dunsany, fue un obstinado soñador que creó una de las obras más líricas y exquisitas que ha dado hasta la fecha el denominado género de terror. Tutor, traductor, corrector de pruebas, catalogador de libros raros, actor de teatro y sobre todo periodista, Machen trasladó al papel sus arrebatados y melancólicos sueños con esa rara intensidad y soledad propias de la poesía, tratando de desvelar los enigmas que se ocultan más allá de la existencia y fuera del tiempo y logrando que la belleza y el horror suenen en sus relatos al unísono. A diferencia de Le Fanu o M.R. James, Machen, inspirado por su origen celta, no escribió sobre fantasmas sino más bien sobre fuerzas elementales, maleficios que sobreviven o poderes malignos invocados por el folklore y los cuentos de hadas, como la malévola «gente pequeña», esa enigmática y horrible raza pre-céltica, negra y achaparrada, forzada a vivir en las entrañas de la tierra, donde todavía practica sus infames ritos sacrificiales. El presente volumen recoge cuatro extensos relatos (El gran dios Pan, La luz interior, La novela del Sello Negro y La novela del polvo blanco), que tanto influyeron en el maestro del horror sobrenatural, H.P. Lovecraft.

After much study of the human mind he devises an experiment which involves minor brain surgery. He performs this experiment on a young woman named Mary, but when she awakes she is terrified and mentally crippled. Years later, the beautiful but sinister-looking Helen Vaughan is reported to have caused a series of mysterious happenings in a small nameless town. She spends all her days in the woods, scares a boy so much he is hospitalized, and leads to the rape of her best friend Rachel. Helen then moves to the London social scene and marries a man named Herbert. Years later Herbert is found by his former friend Villiers to be a beggar and vagrant. When asked how he has fallen so low, Herbert replies that he has been "corrupted body and soul" by his wife. Helen disappears for some time, supposedly taking part in disturbing orgies somewhere in the Americas. When she returns as Mrs. Beaumont she is followed by a series of suicides. Villiers discovers that she is in fact Helen and goes to confront her. He persuades her to hang herself and she has a very abnormal death, transforming between human and beast before finally dying.
