MACHEN, Arthur
The Hill of Dreams

Arthur Machen exposes the darker side of the Decadent era in this occult künstlerroman. Blending the psychological and the supernatural, Machen entombs his main character, Lucian Taylor, in his own mind, cutting him off from the living world of sensation. Lucian journeys “all the long way from the known to the unknown,” travelling through Welsh hills, Roman ruins, opium dreams, and the grey streets of London.
