The House of Souls By Arthur Machen Within these pages lie forces older than history, truths darker than night, and horrors born not of monsters—but of revelation. In this landmark collection, Arthur Machen presents four of his most powerful and disturbing tales: The Great God Pan , The White People , The Inmost Light , and The Red Hand . Each story explores the terrible beauty hidden beneath the surface of the everyday, where ancient rites and forbidden knowledge tear at the fragile veil of reality. A masterpiece of supernatural fiction, The House of Souls is a journey into the mystical, the erotic, and the unknown—where ecstasy and terror walk hand in hand, and the soul itself may be the ultimate price. Revered by Lovecraft and Borges, these tales remain among the most visionary ever written.
