Did the Holy Grail survive to modern times? Before The Da Vinci Code, Arthur Machen explored that idea in this semi-autobiographical 1922 tale of Ambrose Meyrick, a rebellious boy who survives a sadistic public schooling, recovers hidden memories of the Grail, and becomes a master of Celtic mysticism.
About the author
Arthur Machen (1863-1947), born Arthur Llewelyn Jones, was a Welsh author of Gothic-revival fantasy and horror stories which mixed fright with sex and decadence, and influenced other horror writers like H. P. Lovecraft. His “The Great God Pan” (1890) was deemed “Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language” by Stephen King.
