The Three Impostors or The Transmutations Arthur Machen 9781463746353 Books
Starting out all the seemingly unrelated stories can be a bit confusing, if not a tad overwhelming, to keep track of. I daresay one could make a comparison between the Tarantino movie 'Pulp Fiction' and this tale, in that the multitude of seemingly unrelated characters and story lines can be, as I indicated earlier, confusing if not overwhelming. Do not be discouraged, in the end all ties up nicely and falls into place. Well, maybe not everything. In my experience, it is classic Machen to leave some unanswered questions left up to conjecture and your imagination. Part of the Machen charm, in my opinion.If you are the type who enjoys neat endings, replete with no loose ends by finish, this is not the book for you. If you are the type who enjoys gratuitous violence and monsters, this is not the book for you. If you are the type who thinks less is more, the type that enjoys more left to imagination, this is the book for you.
After reading 'The Great God Pan' I thought I had experienced the very best of what Machen had to offer, the pinnacle of his literary achievements. After finishing this tale, all I can say now is: thank-you Machen for proving me wrong! Arthur Machen has quickly ascended to the top of my favorite authors list. This is an outstanding read that I highly recommend!

The Three Impostors or The Transmutations Arthur Machen 9781463746353 Books Reviews
Incredible a dream for the truth seeker
Fantastic book. Made for those who like classic horror stories. Read more of Mr. Machen if you can and are into older horror.
Great!
Interesting combination of old-fashioned detective story and occult happenings. Excellent read.
"The Great God Pan" and "The Three Imposters" are my favorite pieces by Machen. his stories are creepy but not bloody, and take some patience. these aren't books you buy in an airport bookstore.
This book is my first Machen. It is clear to me why he was an influence on Lovecraft - they are both masters of suspense and all things that slither. The three impostors are working for their master - looking for a man who has betrayed him. Thesr are the stories of the three impostors, used to locate their quarry in the city of London. The transmutations refer to these stories. The suspense builds as they hunt down their prey. I would recommend this to people who like Lovecraft and old fashioned horror. I enjoyed it immensely.
Being episodic, it's easy to forget about this novel at various intervals. Equally so, the effect or mystery is quickly picked up on, which detracts from the ultimate impact of the ending. I think it would have better served as a short story, though really it isn't that long, and the individual stories and craftiness of the characters are incredibly interesting. The influence Machen had, and still has, on authors is palpable, especially Lovecraft.
5/5
