Machen, Arthur: N, v.1, 9 January 2009.
Arthur Machen (1863–1947)
N Probably the shortest title in the MR library. This is a short story about a window to another world opening in the dull London suburb of Stoke Newington. The Machen Society webpage comments: “The enigmatically titled "N", which Machen wrote when he was over seventy, is a kind of psychedelic fable which concerns the discovery of an alternate reality existing in the context of a humble, grey north London suburb. Machen's greatest power is thus, to bring together banal familiarity and impossible strangeness, to the great enhancement of both.” http://www.machensoc.demon.co.uk/machwork.html This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
