The Hill of Dreams
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Lucian Taylor is damned ? either through contact with an erotically pagan faerie world or through something degenerate in his own nature. He thinks of the damning thing inside him as a ?faun.? He becomes a writer, and when he moves to London he becomes trapped by the increasing reality of the dark imaginings of this creature within him, which become increasingly real. The portrait of a doomed artist ? a man not unlike Machen himself. (Jacketess library hardcover.)

But already about he town the darkness was forming; fast, fast the shadows crept upon it from the forest, and from all sides banks and wreaths of curling mist were gathering, as if a ghostly leaguer were being built up against the city, and the strange race who lived in its streets. Suddenly there burst out fro the stillness the clear an piercing music of the réveillé, calling, recalling, iterated, reiterated, and ending with one long high fierce shrill note.
