Arthur Machen's 1894 novella The Great God Pan is a cornerstone of supernatural and cosmic horror, praised by Stephen King as "perhaps the best horror story in the English language." The story follows a fateful neurological experiment that lifts the veil between the ordinary world and a terrifying, primal reality, triggering a wave of mysterious tragedies in Victorian London. It remains a deeply influential masterpiece that helped shape modern weird and gothic fiction.
