Arthur Machen is considered a master of Victorian supernatural horror, penning such classics as 'The Great God Pan' and 'The Hill of Dreams'. As a journalist he was also responsible, (albeit unknowingly), for creating the still-popular legend of The Angel of Mons. Machen was born at Caerleon in Wales, and in later life turned his attention to Celtic legend and its ability to transform and inspire our dull reality. 'The Secret Glory' is a semi-autobiographical tale of Ambrose Meyrick, whose mundane existence as a reluctant pupil in an English upper-class 'public school' is transfigured by his search for the Holy Grail of Arthurian legend. But every revelation comes at a price - and Meyrick's triumph in eventually finding the Grail leads him unwittingly to a macabre and grisly fate.
