The Green Round

The Green Round is a horror novel by Welsh author Arthur Machen.

Critic S. T. Joshi has referred to the novel as "a drearily verbose and unfocussed rehashing of old themes".

However, in this work, Machen's earlier exploration of the fantastic moves outward to embrace the absurd, of Kafka, Camus and Sartre.

Not recommended for devotees of gothic and horror, but of potential fascination for the rest of us."
