Description
Today, H.P. Lovecraft is regarded as one of the luminaries of the horror genre—but who were his literary influences? The often-overlooked work of nineteenth-century author Arthur Machen is said to have been very important to the formation of Lovecraft's inimitable style.

The first story "A Fragment of Life" was a bit long in parts, which caused me to skip ahead to the next stories in the collection. I probably liked the White People the best.
Certainly though has a lot of the mysticism that I like and reminds quite a bit of Dunsany.
I did go back and read "A Fragment of Life" and there's some excellent parts in it.
Certainly a collection of stories, that like a lot of Dunsany's work as well, best read as the sun sets.
