Nick Wagstaff’s essay ‘Arthur Machen’s Pyramid of Fire’ is now out in Faunus, The Journal of the Friends of Arthur Machen, No. 24, Spring 2012.
It explores ‘The Shining Pyramid’, Machen’s classic tale of 1895, which Nick considers to be a signature piece in the author’s ‘little people’ mythology and a work that also employs some unusual elements of detective fiction.
Further information on the work of Arthur Machen can be obtained from www.machensociety.
Nick Wagstaff is engaged with independent writing, editing and odd-jobbing, with a tendency to a slightly unfocussed approach to endeavours. He believes the last point is a positive to draw from being retired – sound and interesting outcomes can follow. He is also linked with conservation work on a heritage project.
