Synopsis

Mysterious deaths in London baffle authorities, but for two men the reason is quite clear: they have seen something unspeakably terrible and lost their lives for it. For Clark it goes back to events from years ago; events he had strangely forgotten.

The Great God Pan was written in the style of Bram Stoker's Dracula and first published in the Victorian year, 1894. The monster: the elusive pagan god figure, Pan, who none dare to look upon lest they die of horror.

About this title

Review:

"It's haunting, and powerful, and horrifying, because of what it suggests, much more than because of what it states. Machen makes every sentence count."

"As good as advertised, called by Stephen King to be perhaps the greatest horror story in English."

"The Great God Pan is a succinct gem of horror and mystery; a kind of spiritual variation on classic tales of lycanthropy; though its effectiveness depends on one's sensitivity to, and belief in, the potential horrors of the very real though unseen forces beneath material manifestation."

"The reason Machen remains influential among modern horror writers is quite evident in his most famous tale, The Great God Pan."
