- Reviews:
-
- ... 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 - Berenice M.
Murphy, The Irish Journal of
Gothic and Horror Studies
-
- 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. -
Suzi Feay, The Independent
(29/10/05)
-
- 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.
