About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Three Impostors, by Arthur Machen. Read by Tony Oliva. Three friends in a large old dilapidated house are laughing. They seem as giddy as an acting troupe at closing night. But their laughter is callous, cruel; you might say, evil. One of them, a young woman described as piquant rather than beautiful with eyes of a shining hazel, carries a neatly wrapped parcel. She says it is for the doctor's museum. It is dripping. Do you want to know why? Then, listen! There's more than one tale told, but what is the truth? My dears, are you sure you want to know? Summary by Tony Oliva and put in the public domain.
