The Hill of Dreams

Arthur Machen,

About this book

A descent into isolation. A life consumed by vision. The terror and ecstasy of the inner world.

The Hill of Dreams is Arthur Machen's most poetic, deeply psychological, and arguably most important novel. It is a haunting exploration of the mind of an artist and the terrifying nature of genius and isolation.

The narrative centers on Lucian Taylor, a sensitive and solitary young man living in a crumbling cottage near an ancient, brooding Roman hill-fort in the Welsh countryside. The novel chronicles his life as he attempts to pursue a literary career while being increasingly drawn into the mystical and pagan atmosphere of the hill.

The Hill of Dreams is a foundational work of literary weird fiction, celebrated for its lyrical, dreamlike prose and its profound statement on the artist's alienation. It suggests that the greatest beauty and the most terrible horror lie not in the outside world, but in the untamed, ancient depths of the human soul.
