"The Novel of the Black Seal" is a work of horror by Arthur Machen—a key story in his 1895 novel, "The Three Impostors". The story follows Professor Gregg, an antiquarian whose studies uncover disturbing evidence of a lost and terrible people, whose relics and language persist in the remote corners of Britain.
