{"product_id":"8436019589595","title":"Complete Intimate Interpretations","description":"Decadent, perverse and unreal, the strange stories of Arthur Machen uncover a lingering, ancestral horror, distantly remembered in the language of fairy tales, pagan lore, and in the secret old games that nurses teach to children. Deeply controversial in their own time, some of Machen's stories had to wait decades to for changing social mores to permit their publication.\u003cp\u003eThis new collection by Lowood Press combines all of Machen's most celebrated works in one volume. Herein are his greatest short stories, including \u003ci\u003eThe White People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Great God Pan\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bowmen\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Shining Pyramid\u003c\/i\u003e; his semi-autobiographical novel, \u003ci\u003eHill of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e; and the original, complete version of \u003ci\u003eThe Three Impostors\u003c\/i\u003e, with its interconnecting tales of occult intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unrivaled master of sacred terror and pioneer of the weird fiction genre, Machen's work has directly influenced such notable horror writers as H. P. Lovecraft, Peter Straub, and Stephen King-but it has yet to be surpassed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pumpkinheads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47089408540912,"sku":"8436019589595","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/8436019589595_p0.jpg?v=1763612799","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/8436019589595","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
