Hieroglyphics (Arthur Machen reading)

Read by myself, D.T., Smith. You, the author's audience, are his story's secondary character, to whom he speaks directly in this lesser-known work from the man who heavily influenced H.P. Lovecraft. It brilliantly and amusingly questions and analyzes popular criteria used to distinguish high art from high artifice. His criticisms are as relevant to our day as his own. This is all at once: essay, lecture, short story, and literary critique. I heavily suggest this to aspiring writers, other artists, and whomever has embarked (or would embark) upon the Quest for the Holy Grail.
