North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2019. First edition, Hardcover, Limited, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 200 pp. An as new copy. This edition limited to 300 copies. "In his Note to Hieroglyphics, the author relates how it was his privilege, many years ago, to make the acquaintance of an obscure literary hermit who had had left the world and gone to Barnsbury. There, in the most retired street, he occupied two rooms on the ground floor of a big, mouldy house; and just beside the dim and dusty window of the sitting-room a laburnum had cast a green stain on the decaying wall. This is, no doubt, the same literary hermit who relates the fascinating stream-of-consciousness short story in 'The White People', but here in Hieroglyphics he details how high literature may be separated from mere reading material. True art, Machen argues through the literary hermit, should exist to portray the unknown and the infinite, and the key is a quality which he calls 'ecstasy'."
