The Hill of Dreams cover

A young man's quest for beauty through literature, love, drugs and dreams becomes a mystical, lyrical classic from the father of supernatural horror. There is a foreword by Catherine Fisher one of whose acclaimed "Oracle" trilogy was shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize and is an international bestseller translated into over 20 languages. Originally published in 1907, it is widely regarded as Machen's finest lyrical work.

'Literature is a game played with words - words are the stock elements - but we should not forget that in the case of masters, and Machen is one of them, this game of algebra or chess reflects an emotion.' Jorge Luis Borges
