- ...
this is an excellent collection, particularly for those
who are unfamiliar with Machen’s work, which at its best
is as good as anything the genre has to offer -

- Stories of the macabre exert their pull
from Hallowe'en onwards, such as the stories of Arthur
Machen, republished by Tartarus Press in handsome
editions, made for reading by a flickering fire. -

-
A
storyteller of impressive imaginative power, startling
authenticity, and undeniable originality …
Tales Of Horror And The
Supernatural, a generously thick collection of the
author's arguably best short macabre fiction is a
celebration of primal mysteries and complex human
conflicts between psyche and soul which serves as a fine,
fitting tribute to a man whose life was as paradoxical
and mystifying as much of his fictions. - William Simmons,
Gauntlet
-
- Tales of
Horror and the Supernatural is, quite simply, one of the
most important collections of weird tales by any author,
and Tartarus press has done it proud. - Ramsey
Campbell, Waterstones Guide to Science
fiction, Fantasy and Horror.
