Who would have thought that horror could be so luminosity beautiful? It's short but definitely worth the credit I spent on it.

Creepy and beautiful

Strange and philosophical. Hard to comprehend the fantasy world the main character has created in his mind.

The White People by Arthur Machen may have been something else 110 years ago but, then again, so were airplanes. The only reason I’m happy I listened to this story is that it’s over with.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled by stronger stuff but I see no reason why this story is referred to as something to be referred to!

Recommendation – if I only knew then what I know now…



If I Only Knew Then...

A story about the alchemy of faery, the bridge building between worlds, the power of innocent imagination, the drama of the hidden life. The story is woven of stories and kept in the collection of an Alchemist who discusses it with a friend. A tale about beauty and the terror of the unknown at the edge of existence. The reader created atmosphere, the sound of his voice corresponded very well with the content of the story.

A Wondrous Story

I'm knocked on my backside. This is a story from an author who understands that the supernatural is genuinely strange and alien to our mode of existence. This is why so many of the old British weird tales types are so good, and why it was their work that you hear echoes of in bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, gents who were well-read and steeped in a Classic- laden education who could convey that unsettling weirdness that no one born after 1980 seems to get.

A Genuine Classic
