Description
Twenty new titles in the much-loved and hugely successful Penguin English Library series.
I will not read it; I should never sleep again
A doctor performs an experiment on a young woman that goes horribly wrong, and a series of increasingly strange events follow—sinister woodland rituals, disappearances, suicides...
Viewed as immoral and decadent on first publication in 1894, Machen's weird tale has since established itself as a classic of its genre and has been described by Stephen King as 'one of the best horror stories ever written. Maybe the best in the English language'.
The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers' editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.

The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen is often praised for its eerie atmosphere and effective blend of horror with supernatural elements. Readers admire its ability to create suspense and a sense of dread through its mysterious and unsettling narrative. Some note that it explores themes of forbidden knowledge and the unseen forces that lurk beyond human understanding.

About the Author
Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was born in Monmouthshire in Wales, a region whose associations with Celtic, Roman and medieval history would make a strong impression on him. Too poor to attend university, he moved to London in 1881 and worked as a journalist, tutor and publisher's clerk, finding time to write at night. The Great God Pan was published in 1894, and despite widespread criticism for its decadent style and sexual content, was Machen's first popular success. In later life, he became an actor and pursued his interests in Celtic Christianity and the legend of the Grail while continuing to write fiction and journalism.
