Presenting our third anthology of new stories inspired by Arthur Machen's masterpiece 'The White People.'
We invited some of the leading lights in horror to riff on the theme of 'The Green Book' which is considered by many to be the singular greatest piece of writing in weird fiction. The result is this remarkable anthology of 16 new stories..........
Following on from our previous anthologies, Unquiet Slumbers: Folk Horror Tales and All of Them Witches. The book will be illustrated by none other than World Fantasy Award Winning artist, Samuel Araya. Sam has worked with Suntup, Centipede Press, Easton Press, Tor Nightfire amongst many others. His standout editions include, The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen, Brother by Ania Ahlborn for Suntup, and his cover artwork for Adam Nevill's 'Ritual' Imprint.

Praise for ‘The White People’ by Arthur Machen
"Probably the finest single supernatural story of the century, perhaps in the literature",
E F Bleiler
"If I were to list the greatest supernatural short stories of all time, I would start with Arthur Machen’s 'The White People,' about a young girl’s unknowing initiation into an ancient, otherworldly cult."
Michael Dirda
"a masterpiece of indirection, a Lovecraft plot told by James Joyce’’
S. T. Joshi
"Machen's narrative, a triumph of skilful selectiveness and restraint, accumulates enormous power as it flows on in a stream of innocent childish prattle"
H. P. Lovecraft
