The Greenwood Faun
Egaeus Press:
Shaftesbury: 2017
First edition, Hardcover, Limited, Fine sans dust jacket as issued,
180 pp.
This edition limited to 420 copies. "Nina Antonia's The Greenwood Faun is a haunted, haunting work. Summoning up Lucian Taylor, the hallucinated hero of Arthur Machen's The Hill of Dreams, Nina channels the curious, captivating story of what happened to Lucian's literary masterpiece after his death, and how it both saves and destroys those who come across it after it is posthumously published. Shot through with decadence, poetry, opium, and incense, with the ghost of Lionel Johnson as psychopomp and the Great God Pan heavy in the fields, this is a beautifully written poem: witty, crepuscular, enchanting, surprising."
