AM - Arthur Machen
There are sacraments of evil as well as of good about us, and we live and move to my belief in an unknown world, a place where there are caves and shadows and dwellers in twilight. It is possible that man may sometimes return on the track of evolution, and it is my belief that an awful lore is not yet dead.
-From "The Red Hand"
Machen was one of the masters of supernatural fiction whose work immediately preceded and influenced Lovecraft a great deal. I have indexed, in the following stories, just a few key terms and ideas that later found their way into the Mythos.
