Sinopsis

Quizá ninguna otra figura encarne mejor la transición de la tradición gótica al horror moderno que Arthur Machen. En la última década del siglo XIX, el escritor galés produjo un cuerpo seminal de relatos de horror y de lo oculto, de corrupción espiritual y física, y de sobrevivientes malignos del pasado primigenio, que horrorizaron y escandalizaron a los lectores de finales de la era victoriana.

La casa de las almas es una colección de cuatro obras maestras del horror y el misterio, publicadas por primera vez en un solo volumen en 1906: «Un fragmento de vida», «La gente blanca», «El gran dios Pan» y «La luz más recóndita». En palabras de Stephen King, «“El gran dios Pan” es el mejor relato de terror que se ha escrito en lengua inglesa»; para Guillermo del Toro, es prueba fehaciente de que «el mal nunca reposa: está gestando».
