Arthur Llewelyn Jones was born in Caerleon, Monmouthshire on the 3rd March 1863. Machen came from a long line of clergymen, and when he was two, his father became vicar of a small parish about five miles north of Caerleon, and Machen was brought up at the rectory there. In his early years he received an excellent classical education, but family poverty ruled out university, and he was sent to London to sit exams to attend medical school but failed the exams. He did show literary promise with the publication of the poem ‘Eleusinia’ in 1821. But life in London was difficult and it was only in 1884 that he published again and was taken on to translate several French works which thereafter became the standard editions for many years. In 1887, his father died. That same year he married Amelia Hogg, a maverick music teacher with a passion for the theatre. He also began to receive legacies from Scottish relatives which allowed him to devote more time to writing. After publishing in literary magazines in 1894 he published his first book ‘The Great God Pan’. Its sexual and horrific content very much helped sales. Over the next decade or so he wrote some of his best work but was unable to find a publisher mainly due to the collapse of the decadent market over Oscar Wilde’s scandalous trial. In 1899, his wife died and during his long recovery he took up acting and travelled around the country as part of a travelling company. Three years later he was publishing again and had remarried. Re-publishing of earlier works helped anchor both his reputation and his income. By the time the Great War opened Europe’s wounds he returned to the public eye with ‘The Bowmen’ helped by the publicity around the ‘Angel of Mons’ episode. However, by the late 20’s new works had dried up and his back catalogue was no longer a source of regular income. In 1932 he received a Civil List pension of ₤100 per annum but other work was not forthcoming. His finances finally stabilised with a literary appeal in 1943 for his eightieth birthday and allowed him to live his remaining years in relative comfort. Arthur Machen died on 15th December 1947 in Beaconsfield. He was 84. In "N" Machen brilliantly sets up an alternate reality in Stoke Newington, North London. But his characters are not quite so sure which reality they actually inhabit.Mostra libro

I left against my will and then… they stopped talking to me. An entire lifetime of childhood friendships flushed down the drain. Worse yet… I’d been in love with Zac Walsh–the literal boy next door who went through women the way most of us went through underwear–since I was thirteen. Then… he just stopped being my best friend and so did the rest of them. Unfortunately, coming back to town isn’t my idea. But it’s my responsibility to take care of my dad’s things and I’m determined to do the job then get out of here as quickly as possible. Maybe without seeing any of them. Of course, that doesn’t happen. Zac sees me before I get into the house. He’s still the boy next door, probably still going through women like most of us go through underwear, and against my better judgment, those feelings bubble up from the deep abyss I’d exiled them to. As the secrets that have been hidden from me all start finding their way to the surface, is he really the only one I can lean on? Last Good Thing is book one in the Fallout Series and features a smoking hot single dad and a woman who doesn’t want to let any of them in when she comes back to town yet can’t avoid the familiar feelings, or just how much she’s still in love with him.Mostra libro
