An experiment into the sources of the human brain through the mind of a young woman has gone horribly wrong. She has seen the great God Pan and will die giving birth to a daughter, Helen Vaughan. Helen Vaughan becomes the source of much fevered speculation when, twenty years later, she is feted as a society hostess of great charm.

Arthur Machen's classic tale, The Great God Pan. This is the book that launched one of the most influential writers of fantasy and horror, a story echoed in the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell, and T. E. D. Klein, among many others. Copper Penny Press books are in an easy to read format.
