Arthur Machen

The Terror Arthur Machen

In the region of Meirion, the fictional name given by the narrator, several inexplicable crimes, brutal and for no apparent reason, seem to be the product of a madman. At the same time some ammunition factories are also destroyed, and that is when you begin to think that it is a matter of the Germans, who are infiltrating the country. But the strange facts do not stop here, because some animals seem to have gone mad and act irrationally. People start to see and hear fantastic things, almost hallucinatory, and it is not known if there is anything to do with a certain collective suggestion. The population does not know what to think of all this, and the news does not arrive, there is order to control the entire press.
