The horned god : weird tales of the great god Pan
Michael Wheatley (Editor)
"In 1894, Arthur Machen's landmark novella 'The Great God Pan' was published, sparking a resurgence of literary fascination with the figure of the Pagan goat god. Tales from a broad spectrum of writers - from E.M. Forster to prolific pulpsters such as Greye Le Spina - took the god's rebellious and chaotic influence as their subject, spinning beguiling tales of society turned upside down and the forces of nature compelling protagonists to ecstatic heights or bizarre dooms. Assembling ten tales and six poems - along with Machen's novella - from the boom years of Pan-centric literature, this new collection revels in themes of queer awakening, transgressing against societal bonds and the bewitching power of the wild as it explores a rapturous and culturally significant chapter in the history of weird fiction."--Page 4 of cover
