The Horned Shepherd, Sons of the Vine (Wembley),
1904 [100 copies]
Identified by E.F. Bleiler as being set in the
Early Christian Near East, the Lord of the Forest (Pan) is
worshipped and sacrifices are offered yearly. Every century an
embodiment of the god appears and is sacrificed.
Number Nineteen, Mills and Boon (London),
[1910]
In London suburbia in the early 1900s, the
hero, Plowden, finds that his neighbour, Walden, is attempting to
invoke the lords of the abyss in his garden. Through Plowden's
membership of The New Bohemians (a real drinking society
frequented by, among others, Arthur Ransome, Arthur Machen,
Richard Middleton), he meets Marks (a thin disguise for Machen) ,
and through the inevitable romance with Walden's niece, the hero
finds that they have successfully brought to life a statue of
Pan.
