Roger Pater is the author of Mystic Voices.

About

Mystic Voices,in all the cases which come before him, the wise and humane priest strives to do his best to comfort the living, and the dead. In creating Fr Philip, Roger Pater, the pen name of Dom Roger Hudleston, a member of the Order of St Benedict, undoubtedly drew on himself, investing his character with the religious convictions and questions which formed a part of his own life and experiences. In a companion work, My Cousin Philip, Pater created a complete “biography” of his fictional creation, and a chapter of that work, which presents the author’s theories on clair-audience and also expands on the stories contained in Mystic Voices, has been included in this volume. Editor David Rowlands discusses the collection and its place in the ghost story world, and also provides a valuable synopsis of My Cousin Philip, while a contemporary obituary of Dom Roger paints a fond portrait of a man who was as esteemed in reality as his creation was in fiction.
