"The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen in 1890. The story
is about a doctor named Raymond who performs an experiment to open the mind of
a patient to experience the spiritual world. The experiment results in the
patient becoming an "idiot". Years later, a woman named Helen Vaughan causes
mysterious happenings in her town. It is revealed that Helen was the wife of a
man named Herbert, who died of fright after seeing something in their home.
Helen disappears and is later found to have taken part in disturbing orgies in
the Americas. The novella has been classified as Gothic horror, science
fiction, and Decadent literature. It has influenced the work of horror writers
such as Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, and Stephen King. Machen's inspiration
for the story came from his childhood visits to the ruined Roman temple at
Caerwent, which he believed was dedicated to the god Nodens. The novella has
been adapted for the stage twice and has been highly influential on the circle
of writers around H. P. Lovecraft.
