Summary: Fascinating Propaganda by a Master of Wierd Horror
Comment: Arthur Machen, the Welsh author of such wierd tales as 'The White People' and 'The Great God Pan' worked as a propagandist for Britain in World War I and this is a collection of his work. His premiere effort, 'The Angels of Mons', is still occasionally unknowingly quoted by believers in the supernatural!

In the Fall of 1914 the German Army swept through Belgium, and frustrated by French resistance outside Paris attempted to flank the French Army at Mons. There the British Expeditionary Force had dug in, and they held off the Germans. Machen wrote a tale celebrating the victory in which the ghosts of the English archers of Agincourt appeared to aid the British!
