The Great God Pan (1894) is a novella by Arthur Machen. Condemned
as decadent and obscene upon publication, The Great God Pan earned
praise from Oscar Wilde and H. P. Lovecraft, and is now regarded as
one of Victorian literature's finest-and most unsettling-stories of
horror and the occult. Throughout the years, it has influenced such
figures as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Josh Malerman with
its depiction of the god Pan and unsettling blend of science, myth,
and magic. Clarke has always taken an interest in occult matters,
so when a friend offers him a chance to witness an experimental
procedure intended to access the spirit realm, he cannot refuse.
When the young patient Mary awakens, she shows signs of terror and
soon succumbs to a catatonic state. Convinced of their success in
discovering the world of "the great god Pan," Clarke and Raymond
agree to keep their discovery a secret. Years later, a nearby town
begins reporting the mysterious disappearances of young children,
all of whom have been seen in the forest with a young woman named
Helen Vaughn. Before they can solve the case, however, Vaughn
disappears, leaving Clarke and the townspeople traumatized. As
their secret grows too terrible to bear, Raymond and Clarke must
steel themselves in order to solve the connection between Mary and
Helen, and to close the portal to the spirit realm for good. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan is a classic of
British horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.
