Book Review: The Great God Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
As all Machen's works: Excellent!
Brilliant and delightful use of language.
For all those who enjoyed tv series like The Twilight Zone, Dr. Who or even Star Trek, writers like Machen, Blackwood, Bloch and J.L Borges, are key to understand the concept of parallel worlds or dimensions to ours and the existance of portals leading us to those places.
A dimensional concept that ancient civilizations like Romans, Greek, Maya and many other used to explain the contact and communication with ancestor.
It is not pure fear or massacres what makes me read writers like Machen, is the pure fact of enjoying the perfect use of literature to make us believe that imagination can become real.
It really is the Power of Imagination.
Summary of The Great God Pan and The Hill of Dreams
Two works — one of imaginative and decadent horror, the other lyrical and introspective — comprise these books by one of the pioneers of supernatural fiction. The Great God Pan scandalized Victorian London with its suggestive visions of sexuality and paganism. The Hill of Dreams is a semi-autobiographical work about Machen's battles with his inner demons.
