The Shining Pyramid
A little girl takes a shortcut on her way home and is never to be seen again. Luckily Machen's favourite supernatural investigator Dyson is tasked with unravelling the mystery. While examining the girl's route Dyson encounters peculiar stone arrangements which resemble little pyramids. He is left baffled and perplexed - who could have planted these stones in such an exquisite manner and whatever for?
'The Shining Pyramid' is a fine detective story infused with eerie supernatural aspects. A must-read for fans of David Lynch's world-famous 'Twin Peaks' TV series.
Jorge Luis Borges cited Machen as a great writer and an inspiration for the magical realism movement in literature. Notorious occultist Aleister Crowley also greatly admired Machen for effortlessly crossing over the threshold that separates reality and the magical realm.
Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was a Welsh writer of supernatural, fantasy, and horror novels. Before his literary career skyrocketed he also worked as a journalist and an actor. His major belief was that the ordinary and external world surreptitiously conceals something far more mysterious and bizarre. In turn, we are deeply interested in trying to lift the veil enshrouding the threshold separating the two. His most acclaimed works include the classic horror novella 'The Great God Pan' and the semi-autobiographical 'The Hill of Dreams'.

Arthur Machen
Arthur Machen (1863-1947) est un écrivain gallois, figure majeure de la **weird fiction** et du fantastique britannique. Considéré comme un pont entre le gothique britannique et le fantastique américain, il a marqué la littérature par des récits où se mêlent horreur surnaturelle, folklore celtique et quête métaphysique. Son œuvre, notamment *La Colline des rêves* (1907), a inspiré des auteurs comme H.P. Lovecraft, qui le qualifiait de maître du genre. Machen explore dans ses textes la dualité entre terreur et extase, révélant une réalité cachée derrière le monde visible.
