Beschreibung

Arthur Machen's "Ultimate Collection" presents a compendium of his most significant works, showcasing the author's unique blend of mysticism, horror, and the supernatural. This collection encapsulates Machen's distinctive literary style, characterized by rich, evocative prose and an intricate exploration of the unknown. Set against the backdrop of late Victorian and early Edwardian England, Machen's narratives often delve into themes of ancient myth, the subconscious, and the fragility of reality, challenging readers to confront the thin veil between the mundane and the supernatural. Machen, a pivotal figure in the development of weird fiction, was influenced by his Welsh heritage, early religious experiences, and an enduring fascination with the arcane. His personal struggles with faith and meaning are echoed throughout the collection, as he fuses autobiographical elements with mythological motifs. This synthesis of the personal and the fantastical not only reflects Machen's literary voice but also situates him within the broader context of 19th-century literature, alongside contemporaries like M.R. James and H.P. Lovecraft. This collection is an essential read for enthusiasts of weird and supernatural fiction, as well as those interested in the evolution of modern horror. Machen's profound insights into the human psyche and the mysteries of existence make this compilation a timeless exploration of the darker sides of human experience. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in Machen's world, where the boundaries of reality thin and the shadows of ancient truths beckon.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    When a deadly infection spreads across Europe, supermarket manager Howie’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos. As the world crumbles around him, he teams up with his autistic best mate, Dave and a ragtag group of misfits to face an enemy unlike any other—the undead. But this isn’t just any infection. It evolves. It learns. And it’s getting smarter every day. Howie soon learns that nothing is quite what it seems - and neither is he. 
    With fast-paced, blistering action, The Undead series follows Howie and Dave and their unlikely friends as they become the only hope for humanity pitted in a race against time to stop the infection before it becomes smarter than them. Which honestly wouldn't be that hard. 
    The Undead has grown to become an iconic British series, redefining zombie horror with rich, unparalleled characterisation—seldom seen outside of literary fiction. But The Undead becomes far more than a zombie story. This is a tale of loyalty and friendship, of how we bond and how far we will go for the people we love. Its catchphrases have become part of everyday language for its readers, and its razor-sharp humour reflects the stupidity and greed of humanity, while still offering hope that we can rise above and do the right thing
