About this book

The Three Impostors is Arthur Machen's remarkable novel of weird horror, published in 1895 at the height of the decadent 1890s. Built as a set of linked tales in the manner of the Arabian Nights, it follows a sinister group who spin strange stories to lure their victims, and within its frame sit two of Machen's most famous pieces, the Novel of the Black Seal and the Novel of the White Powder. Through them he suggests that beneath the ordinary surface of London and the Welsh hills lie ancient and terrible survivals, older than mankind and utterly hostile to it. Eerie, elegant, and deeply unsettling, it helped shape the whole tradition of cosmic horror that followed.
