Exorcising Angels

During the London Blitz, a veteran from World War One goes in search of the author and mystic Arthur Machen (1863-1947), armed with a series of questions: “What did I really see in the trenches?” “Were those angels?” “Who am I?” When the answers come they challenge everything the veteran ever thought to be true. In 1915 when Machen’s work “The Bowmen” was first published, many English readers thought his tale of heavenly archers defeating the advancing German troops of WWI, was true. Authors Tim Lebbon & Simon Clark pay homage to Machen with their novella Exorcising Angels, which is set against the backdrop of  the WWII Blitz when (in the words of the Bishop of London), all of Great Britain needed to pray a “plea to the Heavenly Father for divine protection against these Swastikad angels of Death.”
