The Great God Pan is a horror novella written by Arthur Machen and first published in 1890. The story follows the investigations of a young scientist named Dr. Raymond who becomes obsessed with the idea of opening the human mind to new experiences and dimensions. He conducts experiments on a young woman named Mary, who is able to see and communicate with supernatural entities after undergoing a surgical procedure. As Mary's mental state deteriorates, Dr. Raymond realizes the terrifying consequences of his actions and the true nature of the ancient deity known as the Great God Pan. The novella is a chilling exploration of the limits of human knowledge and the dangers of delving into the unknown. It has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the supernatural and its influence on the horror genre.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.
