http://www.caerleon.net/history/machen/text
Arthur Machen
Born in Caerleon, 1863, Arthur Machen is known for his horror fiction. Indeed, H P Lovecraft , in his essay " Supernatural Horror in Literature ", wrote: "Of living creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch, few if any can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen."
Arthur Machen (1863 - 1947) was descended from a line of Anglican priests in South Wales including a grandfather - see later in this column- who was vicar of St Cadocs, Caerleon for many years. The house next door to the Priory Hotel carries a plaque commemorating Machen's birth there when it was the home of his widowed grandmother and her daughters.
In this extract from his autobiography, 'Far Off Things', the places mentioned will be familiar to Caerleon residents:
Machen's life and writing reflect a deep commitment to the Orthodox Anglo Catholic faith and his books frequently explore aspects of the Old Religion and the Celtic Church whose colourful saints were of such interest to him. One such church was that of Llantrissant which appears in his writing from time to time, for example The Great Return. Machen's interest in spirituality was broader than that of a formal, regular church-goer as he sought to examine the often alarmingly close 'world beyond the veil' which manifests itself to those who are prepared and open to deep experiences of a psychic nature. An enjoyment of wine and tobacco was felt to be one way of entering this state of consciousness.
Because of the nature of his writing and the priority of altered states of consciousness amongst his 'tools of inspiration' Machen has been widely admired by other writers, musicians and people who recognise his efforts to explore the wellspring of creative thought. Many respected writers have acknowledged warmly the debt they owe to his work including horror writers such as Clive Barker and Ramsay Campbell, novelist and biographer Peter Ackroyd and entertainer Barry Humphries whilst the composer John Ireland dedicated some of his best music to Machen. More details of the 'Great and The Good' who claim to have got their inspiration from the Caerleon writer will be listed here later.

In his timeless introduction, Idries Shah presents selections of lyric poems, fantastic tales, humorous anecdotes, and insightful maxims straight from the writings of revered Sufi masters.

    (Complete)
    The Best Weird Tales of Arthur Machen vol. 1 ...He was hot on his trail, growing lean with eagerness; and in the evenings, when the sun was swimming on the verge of the mountain, he would pace the terrace to and fro with his eyes on the ground, while the mist grew white in the valley, and the stillness of the evening brought far voices near, and the blue smoke rose a straight column from the diamond-shaped chimney of the grey farm-house, just as I had seen it on the first morning. - from "The Three Impostors"
    Some of the finest horror stories ever written. Arthur Machen had a profound impact upon H.P. Lovecraft and the group of stories that would later become known as the Cthulhu Mythos. H.P. Lovecraft declared Arthur Machen (1863 - 1947) to be a modern master who could create "cosmic fear raised to it's most artistic pitch." This initial volume of his work contains two short stories, the novella "The Great God Pan", and an episodic novel, "The Three Impostors." In form something like a puzzle box, "Impostors" cryptic connections and revelations were sometimes abridged. It's text here is complete. In these eerie and once-shocking stories, supernatural horror is a transmuting force powered by the core of life. To resist it requires great will from the living, for civilization is only a new way to behave, and not one instinctive to life. Decency prevents discussion about such pressures, so each person must face such things alone. The comforts and hopes of civilization are threatened and undermined by these ecstatic nightmares that haunt the living. This is nowhere more deftly suggested than through Machen's extraordinary prose, where the textures and dreams of the Old Ways are never far removed.
