Contrary to rumors of her death, Helen Vaughan is alive and well
and living in Shoreditch, East London, stirring up the art world with
a series of erotically-charged landscapes depicting the strange events
of her youth. Brought up by a man who regarded her as loathsome,
shuffled between boarding schools and foster homes, young Helen only
found pleasure in visits from a secret companion. She made one other
close friend, a girl called Rachel who disappeared in full
daylight. After that, Helen was left with her companion.
As she remembers her friend, Helen lays on each stroke of paint as if
it can bring Rachel back or take her to where Rachel went. She paints
to summon her companion once again, and show everyone what really
lurks beyond the vanishing point.
Some readers might have met Helen in Arthur Machen's classic novella
The Great God Pan. Now she gets to tell her side of the
story. Nominated for the 2013 Shirley Jackson Award for outstanding
achievement in literature of the "dark fantastic," Helen's Story
gives a voice to one of the genre's most enigmatic antagonists.
