A master of horror in the early 20th century, this writer covered a series of different horror topics and subjects of mystery as well. These stories are the basis of many modern horror writers as he also influenced writers of his day such as Lovecraft and drew inspiration from writers like Stoker.

These short works of decadent horror were written by a pioneer of supernatural fiction. The title story, a tale of mysterious suicides, scandalized Victorian London with its sexuality and paganism.

I Den store Gud Pan og andre fortællinger præsenteres de bedste historier af den store gotiske forfatter Arthur Machen, hvis værker har haft enorm indflydelse på gyserlitteraturen i det 20. århundrede. Selve titelnovellen, Den store gud Pan, er af Stephen King blevet kaldt den måske bedste engelsksprogede horrorfortælling nogensinde, og den øvede stor indflydelse på den lidt yngre samtidige H.P. Lovecraft. Machens fortællinger kredser om den verden, der skjuler sig bag ved den umiddelbart synlige, og mennesker, der søger at komme i berøring med den – ofte med alvorlige konsekvenser. Som hos de andre mesterforfattere inden for genren er Machens skildring af det uhyggelige, det fremmede, raffineret og subtil. Vi møder ikke ”monsteret” eller ”det onde”, men vi fornemmer det ganske tæt på – i øjnene på et menneske, der har mistet forstanden, i sporene efter et ritual, i skyggerne, der falder hen over et ellers idyllisk landskab – og hårene rejser sig på os.
