Sinopsis

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.

    I find the murdered woman crumpled under a tree. Blood stains her back and her hands are bound. If I touch her, my psychic abilities will show me what happened to her. But I've lived through murders before, and the visions leave scars. Fighting my fear, I touch her—and only see four names—Addlynn Jeanette Claire Margaret. 
     
     
     
    The unmistakable cry of a newborn infant shatters the calm of the woods. Her body is wrapped around the tiny boy, impossibly small and fragile. I scoop up the screaming infant, and the woman moves to protect her son. She's alive. 
     
     
     
    Alive, but in a coma—a complete mystery. The detectives, my brother and his handsome partner, desperately need information. I'm the only one who can communicate with the woman. Touching her hand in the hospital provides only snippets of her life. Terrifying snippets, like how she got the scar burned into the palm of her hand. 
     
     
     
    Visions are tricky things. The details float like smoke—lost in the haze. I can't tell what she's running from, but the woman's terror burns inside me. I will find out who hurt her, and I won't stop until I bring them to a fiery end.
