Publisher's Summary

Machen's most important and moving work. 

Lucian Taylor, the hero, is damned either through contact with an erotically pagan "other" world or through something degenerate in his own nature, which he thinks of as a "faun". He becomes a writer, and when he moves to London he becomes trapped by the increasing reality of the dark imaginings of this creature within him, which become increasingly real. 

One of the first explorations in fiction of the figure of the doomed artist, who is biographically so much a part of the decadent 1890s.
