Great God Pan, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Daring, controversial, and hauntingly visionary, The Great God Pan is a cornerstone of supernatural fiction and one of the most influential horror stories ever written. First published in 1894, Arthur Machen’s novella blends science, mysticism, and terror into a tale that shocked Victorian readers—and continues to unsettle audiences today. The story begins with a bold experiment. A doctor attempts to lift the veil between the natural and the supernatural by performing brain surgery on a young woman, allowing her to "see the great god Pan"—a primal, ancient force. But the results are horrifying, and the consequences echo far beyond the laboratory. Years later, mysterious suicides, strange hallucinations, and a beautiful but deadly woman named Helen Vaughan begin to surface across London. As the narrator investigates these disturbing events, he uncovers a web of evil that stretches into the otherworldly—a revelation so terrible, it threatens to shatter the sanity of all who encounter it. Dark, sensual, and steeped in myth, The Great God Pan explores themes of forbidden knowledge, the limits of human understanding, and the terror that lies just beneath the surface of reality. This audiobook edition is a must-listen for fans of Gothic horror, weird fiction, and the works of H.P. Lovecraft, who famously praised Machen’s tale as “a triumph of art and suggestion.” Enter if you dare—but know that once you see Pan, nothing is ever the same.
