Faunus 51

The latest issue of the journal of The Friends of Arthur Machen has just been published and is on its way to members. Faunus 51, edited by Samuel B Kunkel, includes an essay by Alan Moore about his interest in Machen and his writing about the Welsh mage, while R B Russell reviews Alan’s Machen-inspired novel The Great When.

Arfan Iqbal writes about ‘Good and Evil in Machen and Huysmans’; Nick Wagstaff discusses Machen’s noted sleuth of the singular in ‘Mr Dyson: Mystery Man”’; David Neil Lee explores ‘Arthur Machen’s Prima Materia, Quatermass and the Goblin Universe'; and there is a further selection from Machen’s translation of The Way to Attain.

The first edition of the journal is now out of print but a second run is on the way.

The mailing also includes the newsletter Machenalia, edited by Jon Preece, which reports on the Friends’ 2025 AGM near Hay-on-Wye and gives news of the next AGM, in Stratford-upon-Avon. As well as society business, there are also reviews.
