Note: "I was particularly interested because it was said to be a continuation of Arthur Machen's The Three Imposters. And indeed it is dedicated to Machen, the chapter headings are in the style of the Machen book, and there is an `Epilogue by the Author' about the earlier book - but I don't think Machen would have much cared for the tribute! This is a lurid thriller with none of Machen's subtlety or skill with language. It resembles The Three Imposters mostly in that the plot is quite impossible to follow."
