520    The White People is a horror novella by Welsh writer 
       Arthur Machen. Often described as one of the greatest of 
       all horror short stories. The novella is presented as a 
       young girl's diary, detailing her increasingly getting 
       deeper into witchcraft, and discovery of ancient magic. A 
       man is given the diary by another man who wishes to 
       demonstrate what the real nature of evil is all about. 
       Literary critics see Arthur Machen’s works as a 
       significant part of the late Victorian revival of the 
       gothic novel and the decadent movement of the 1890s, 
       bearing direct comparison to the themes found in 
       contemporary works like Robert Louis Stevenson’s The 
       Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Bram Stoker’s 
       Dracula, and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.  
       The White People is a highly influential horror story that
       was written in the late 1890s as part of a longer 
       unfinished novel, some sketches from which went into his 
       book Ornaments in Jade. Fans of supernatural fiction often
       cite this story as a classic in the genre. The White 
       People was Lovecraft's second-favorite horror story of all
       time, after Blackwood's The Willows. The White People was 
       written in 1899, but first published in 1904. Audiobook

       full version. Also available as E-Book, ePUB length 18,200
       words, average reading time 1 hour 35 min.  Arthur 
       Machen (1863-1947) was a Welsh author and mystic of the 
       1890s and early 20th century. He is best known for his 
       influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His
       novella "The Great God Pan" (1890; 1894) has garnered a 
       reputation as a classic of horror (Stephen King has called
       it "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English 
       language"). He is also well known for his leading role in 
       creating the legend of the Angels of Mons. [Elib]
