Produktbeschreibung

Strange arrangements of stones appear at the edge of a young man's property. When he and a friend attempt to decipher their meaning, they uncover something ancient dwelling deep underground - something best left untouched ... Originally published in 1895, this classic tale of subterranean prehistoric entities was acclaimed by genre legends such as H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, so much so that the latter would later write and publish a sequel of sorts - 'The Little People' - in 1970.

Autorenporträt

Born and brought up in Monmouthshire, Machen's tales of bohemian fin-de-siecle London were coloured by the dark and mysterious landscapes of his childhood. A contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats, all of whom admired his work tremendously, Machen's legacy is central to gothic fiction in the twentieth century. His great literary significance was recognised by H. P. Lovecraft who named Machen as one of the four 'modern masters' of supernatural horror.
