Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein--All of these towering archetypal terrors trace their lineage to the lurking Dionysian shadow that haunts Arthur Machen's 1898 classic fable of pagan horror. The narrative follows a series of clueless Londoners as they struggle to understand the occult destruction that clings to the wake of the mysterious socialite Helen Vaughn. Rumors of dark rituals and a lifelong association with the Horned God of the forest take on a pressing urgency as the well-to-do men of town who are drawn to her begin sacrificing themselves to the strange force that is her true soul's companion. Machen's fascination with hermeticism and Qabalah informs this singular novel which-along with its unsettling overtones of dread-is also a deeply funny and rewarding satire of the posh upper-class who took up occultism as a fad, only to be consumed by ancient powers they neither respected nor understood. The Great God Pan serves as both a warning against casual witchery, and, for the truly courageous, a gateway into the cavernous halls of Dionysus, and the costly treasures that dwell within.

Book excerpt: A scandalous novella during the time of its publication in 1894, Machen's The Great God Pan was viewed as a degenerate and horrific piece of literature because of its sexual content and gruesome scenes. Recounting the story of Mary, a young woman in Wales, and a strange scientist named Dr. Raymond, the novella begins with a horrible experiment gone awry. Dr. Raymond accidentally destroys Mary's mind while attempting to enable her to see the god of nature, Pan. While Mary is essentially a vegetable, Dr. Raymond goes into hiding in London to escape his horrible mistake. Years later, a woman named Helen Vaughan arrives in the city, seducing men, murdering some and driving others to commit suicide. Dr. Raymond uncovers that this woman is the offspring of the god Pan and Mary from his experiment years earlier

The sun still hung above the western mountain-line, but it shone with a dull red glow that cast no shadows, and all the air was quiet; a sweet breath came from the great wood on the hillside above, and with it, at intervals, the soft murmuring call of the wild doves.
