“The Shining Pyramid” is a 1895 short story by Welsh author and mystic Arthur Machen. When stones begin miraculously arranging themselves on the edge of one young man’s private land, he and his friend begin trying to decipher them in any way possible. When they realise that it might be a dark portent, they become desperate to achieve their goal before it is too late. A fantastic example of classic supernatural fiction, “The Shining Pyramid” would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Arthur Machen (1863 – 1947) was a Welsh author and renowned mystic during the 1890s and early 20th century who garnered literary acclaim for his contributions to the supernatural, horror, and fantasy fiction genres. His seminal novella “The Great God Pan” (1890) has become a classic of horror fiction, with Stephen King describing it as one of the best horror stories ever written in the English language. Other notable fans of his gruesome tales include William Butler Yeats and Arthur Conan Doyle; and his work has been compared to that of Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
