The Hill of Dreams

About “The Hill of Dreams”

Lucian Taylor is a man burdened by a dark force he believes comes from a faerie world or from his own corrupted nature. He refers to this inner darkness as a "faun." He becomes a writer, and when he moves to London, the presence of this dark imagination grows stronger, becoming more real. The story follows his descent into the reality of his own dark creations. The novel reflects the struggles of an artist consumed by his own imagination, drawing parallels to the author, Arthur Machen.
