Condition: Trade paperback, New, Leyburn: Tartarus Press:, 2017. Trade paperback, New, 99 pp. "The House of the Hidden Light (1904) has long been regarded by occultists as a great magical text, albeit one that has so far defied satisfactory explanation. The authors, Arthur Machen and A.E. Waite, were aficionados of turn of the century Bohemian London: both were members of the Order of the Golden Dawn; Machen had gained a certain reputation as a writer of outré supernaturalist fiction, whilst Waite was a talented scholar of magic. Such has been the reputation of The House of the Hidden Light that many investigators, including Aleister Crowley, have sought the key to the book, though none have unlocked its secrets. This Tartarus edition of The House of the Hidden Light is published with an explanatory introduction and fully annotated text. At last, renowned Waite scholar R.A. Gilbert provides us with the key to The House of the Hidden Light, hitherto concealed in the everyday lives of the two authors themselves. In his authoritative Introduction, Gilbert reveals the book to be a coded record of Machen and Waite's nocturnal adventures around London. It may not be the great magical text that some had hoped for, but R.A. Gilbert's meticulous research serves to illuminate an important period in the lives of two influential literary figures.".

Book
Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Limited Edition. London, Tartarus Press / Ferret Fantasy, 2003. Hardback. One of 350 copies. Lengthy 35 page introduction by R.A. Gilbert, a Waite scholar. Three copies of the first edition were printed: one for Waite, one for Machen and one for Philip Wellby who financed it. This, the second edition, was published in a slightly more optimistic run of 350 copies. There is a slight caveat to this insofar as Ferret Fantasy, co-publishers of this issue, squeezed out an unedited edition of the book a few months prior to the publication of this edition. I'd hesitate to call that the second edition as it was less a publication and more a hastily printed mock-up. The introduction is signed by Gilbert. A fine copy. [9553, Hyraxia Books].
