The Three Impostors

by Arthur Machen

A small circle of Londoners each encounter one thread of an ancient, secret conspiracy, and only by comparing notes do they realise how much larger the pattern actually is. Machen builds dread through accumulation of small unexplained details rather than any single reveal. It rewards a reader willing to distrust every character’s account slightly.
