The opening frame tale sees Harvey flitting between three voices with nary a pause before the novella moves into into "The Green Book," wherein Harvey effortlessly transitions from three old men sitting and drinking while pontificating upon the true nature of sin to a young girl's naiveté as she explores a hidden world. Harvey and scored by Chris Bozzone, Machen's nesting tale is given a masterful interpretation. In Lovecraft’s seminal essay, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," he ably sums up The White People as "a triumph of skilful selectiveness and restraint, accumulates enormous power as it flows on in a stream of innocent childish prattle." Lovecraft's second favorite piece of weird fiction after Algernon Blackwood's The Willows. Not for nothing is the "the curious and dimly disquieting chronicle" H.P. Second only to his own The Great God Pan in terms of folk horror brilliance, Arthur Machen's The White People is a novella whose scope encompasses another hidden world just outside our own. * Printed on a deluxe heavy-weight tip-on gatefold jacket THIS IS A PRE-ORDER - EXPECTED TO SHIP JUNE/JULY Arthur Machen, The White People 2x LP set, Read by Laurence R.
