Review of The House of the Hidden Light

A strange gem, The House of the Hidden Light by Arthur Machen, was first published in 1904 in only three copies. So the 2003 edition from the small press unit Tartarus Press can be called a First edition. According to Machen, the book was a signal code, a joke, but there seem to be hints of actual experimenting on the occult levels of the three-contact. The book is interesting throughout, and the printing and binding is well crafted as always with the Tartarus Press. The value of this book seems to be expounding.. Maybe one day Arthur Machen will be as appreciated as the Harry Potter glue-n-run novels.
