Here’s a little something for Arthur Machen, writer of some of the weirdest, creepiest horror stories ever, and, I think, conflicted Welshman. That is, he seemed to love his native Wales to bits (and who wouldn’t?) but appeared to be in two minds about the origins of its people and the alleged survival of some dodgy race of old. I’ve never gone very deeply into this so I’ll stop the pontificating. Have a spiffing penwythnos. (Sorry, Rhis, me old china… It’s all online translators Welsh, I’m afraid…)

I’m going to wait for November to read some Machen I think. It’s not going to work in the blazing sun.

A gorgeously liquidly deep blue creation with unspeakable tentacles crawling out from the depths.

I think I read The Hill of Dreams sometime, but I can’t remember a thing about it.

“And every day,’ he went on, ‘we lead two lives, and the half of our soul is madness, and half heaven is lit by a black sun. “ Machen.

Maybe I should read some now.

1. In November you might not have enough daylight to read -there might even be a shortage of that. :-)
2. Thank you. I like the wee miasmas, too. They's cuter and less noxious that the ones issuing right now from 10, Downing St. by a long, long chalk.
3. I quite like Machen, almost all of it, except for the really sentimental; stuff (The Angels of Mons, The Archers, etc.), but I always have to make an effort to get past the ambiguity re. the Welsh. Sometimes he sounds like an English person indulging in a spot of cliche wielding...:-)
4. Love the quotation. Sound like the kind of world we're currently living in.
5. Have a go at the Shining Pyramid, si le cœur vous en dit. It's rather groovy.
Have a spiffing week.
PS. I still have to have a go at your latest stuff but my energy levels seem to have gone AWOL. Soon come...
