The Great God Pan
A classic horror novella, and enticing adventure into the darker side of peoples' minds and dreams.
Dr. Raymond seeks to open the minds of men to the full range of the world's possibilities, but his initial experiment leaves a young woman terrified and mentally damaged. Years later, a woman named Helen Vaughn moves from a small town to London, where she makes a disturbing, yet sensual mark on its upper crust. Due to its senxual content the novel was highly controversial when first published. Stephen King called it "one of the best horror stories ever written."

September 1, 2015Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was born in Monmouthshire in Wales, a region whose associations with Celtic, Roman and medieval history would make a strong impression on him. Too poor to attend university, he moved to London in 1881 and worked as a journalist, tutor and publisher's clerk, finding time to write at night. The Great God Pan was published in 1894, and despite widespread criticism for its decadent style and sexual content, was Machen's first popular success. In later life, he became an actor and pursued his interests in Celtic Christianity and the legend of the Grail while continuing to write fiction and journalism.
