Lovecraft called a memorable epic of the sensitive aesthetic mind. It features Lucian Taylor, a young man from the country who struggles to become a writer in London. His ruminations on life, love, and authorship are extraordinarily ...

Welsh writer Arthur Machen (18631947) is one of the towering figures in the Golden Age of weird fiction, and his novels and tales have influenced generations of weird writers and remain immensely popular among readers.

Shelley went on to write shorter weird tales, incl...
