Publisher's Synopsis
The Great God Pan is a horror novella written by Arthur Machen, first published in 1890. The story follows a scientist named Dr. Raymond who conducts an experiment on a young woman named Mary, attempting to open her mind to the spiritual world. The experiment is successful, but it also unleashes a terrifying supernatural force that begins to wreak havoc on the people around them. As the story unfolds, Dr. Raymond and his friends uncover a dark secret from Mary's past that may hold the key to stopping the malevolent force that has been unleashed. The Great God Pan is considered a classic of horror literature and has been praised for its eerie atmosphere and vivid imagery. It explores themes of the occult, the supernatural, and the dangers of playing with forces beyond human understanding.It was otherwise, however, when within three weeks, three more gentlemen, one of them a nobleman, and the two others men of good position and ample means, perished miserably in the almost precisely the same manner. Lord Swanleigh was found one morning in his dressing-room, hanging from a peg affixed to the wall, and Mr. Collier-Stuart and Mr. Herries had chosen to die as Lord Argentine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
