Great God Pan by Arthur Machen, Fiction, Horror : 9781587155987

Arthur Machen had an a substantial career as a novelist and storyteller, but nothing he did in the course of a lifetime made the impact he made in 1890 with The Great God Pan. The tale literally caused a furor in London -- for it seemed to many readers to bring horror and prurient sexuality together in a way that echoed their moment, foreshadowing the decadence of our own.
