Synopsis

In 'Hieroglyphics,' Arthur Machen delves into the intricate relationship between art and the supernatural, exploring the often-overlooked depths of human experience. With a unique blend of rich, evocative prose and philosophical musings, Machen constructs a narrative that oscillates between the mystical and the mundane. The book is a precursor to the modernist movement, revealing Machen's understanding of symbolism and the significance of the 'unseen' in art, effectively challenging the conventional perceptions of reality and expression at the turn of the 20th century. Arthur Machen, a Welsh author and mystic, is renowned for his influential works that blur the lines between horror, fantasy, and philosophical inquiry. His background is steeped in both the occult and a robust literary tradition that includes Gothic literature and symbolism. These influences, combined with his enchantment with the unknown, led him to explore the profound ways in which art engages with the metaphysical realm, culminating in this thought-provoking text. 'Hieroglyphics' is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersections of literature, philosophy, and spirituality. Machen's exploration of the hidden meanings within art invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions and encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities that lie beneath the surface.

    Claustrophobia, a frightful time to be sure. But being buried alive? One of the worst terrors to happen, and yet it does. A horrific reading of a classic tale by Edgar Allen Poe, and his look on, arguably, the worst way to die!

    "The Shadow Out of Time" is a novella by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between November 1934 and February 1935, it was first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. The story describes time and space travel by mind transfer. The premise is that a person in a given place and time can switch bodies with someone who is elsewhere or elsewhen. Other writers have re-used this concept in later works, such as drinking tea from Red Forest leaves in the television series 12 Monkeys and long-range communication stones in the Stargate SG-1 television series. As with other Lovecraftian works, this story features otherworldy alien beings that are not simply variations on humans or other familiar terrestrial animals.

    "The Temple" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1920, and first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales #24 in September 1925. The story is narrated as a "found manuscript" penned by Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, a lieutenant-commander in the Imperial German Navy during the days of World War I. Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to "set certain facts" before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself. In the North Atlantic, after sinking a British freighter and its occupied lifeboats, the cruel and arrogant Altberg commands his U-boat to submerge, surfacing later to find the dead body of a seaman who died clinging to the exterior railing of the sub. A search of the body reveals a strange piece of carved ivory. Because of its apparent great age and value, one of Altberg's officers keeps the object, and shortly thereafter, strange phenomena begin to occur - such as the dead man apparently swimming away rather than sinking...
