"An incoherent nightmare of sex..." That was The Westminster Gazette's description of Arthur Machen's first book, The Great God Pan , upon its publication in 1894.
An unwittingly complimentary description for one of the greatest works of weird horror and decadence, in which Machen unfurls with his singular eye for the bizarre and macabre the tale of a young girl cursed by her unnatural parentage to become a creature of shape-shifting polysexual demi-human evil. Illustrated by Austin Osman Spare.
If you consider yourself a fan of the horror genre, you need to add Arthur Machen's short novel The Great God Pan to your library. Cited by Stephen King and numerous other writers as one of the greatest horror stories ever published, this fantastical tale recounts the bizarre experiments conducted by mad scientist Dr. Raymond in an attempt to call forth a manifestation of the pagan god Pan. As is often the case, these unholy undertakings engender consequences that no one could have predicted.
