About This Item
Leyburn, North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. (2024). Hardcover. 1905784708 . Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; x, 427, [1 (blank)] pages + frontispiece. Grey boards with colour illustration on spine and front board. Page dimensions: 231 x 155mm. Bookmark ribbon. 2024 reprint edition of a title first published in 1906. Contents: Author's Note; A Fragment of Life; The White People; The Great God Pan; The Inmost Light; The Three Imposters; The Red Hand. "'The House of Souls', first published in 1906, is an omnibus edition of some of Arthur Machen's best-known, controversial, and curious fiction. It contains 'The Great God Pan', his notorious 1890s tale of science and sex, and its accompanying story 'The Inmost Light'. [. . .] Perhaps less well known, and in an altogether more sensitively supernatural vein is 'A Fragment of Life', a quietly ambitious and affecting tale of a seemingly ordinary suburban couple who receive intimations of a much more numinous way of life. But the tour-de-force of the volume is Machen's occult masterpiece 'The White People', a 'stream-of-consciousness' tale far ahead of its time, written with the utmost empathy and panache." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
