Machen is a significant writer whose work had a considerable impact on the development of horror and supernatural fiction. S. T. Joshi sums up his influence, noting how he was ‘a harbinger of a kind of golden age of weird writing’ and offered exemplars for the writing of Algernon Blackwood, M. R. James, Walter de la Mare and H. P. Lovecraft (The White People xiii).
