Me, too. Apparently, the artist was pretty excited about getting to do it:

The book's table of contents (and other info), from S.T. Joshi's blog (stjoshi.org):
'I have now indeed received a definitive offer from Penguin to edit an Arthur Machen volume for Penguin Classics. I have tentatively titled it The White People and Other Weird Stories, and the following items will be included: "The Inmost Light," "Novel of the Black Seal," "Novel of the White Powder," "The Red Hand," "The White People," "A Fragment of Life," "The Rose Garden," "Witchcraft," "The Bowmen," "The Soldiers' Rest," "The Great Return," "Out of the Earth," and The Terror. This seems to be a good mix of the different varieties of weird fiction written by Machen; the volume comes to about 150,000 words of text, and I have already annotated more than half the contents in my recent edition of The Great God Pan and Other Weird Stories (Arcane Wisdom, 2009).'
