Resumen del Editor
Dubbed the greatest horror story in English by Stephen King, The Great God Pan is an eerie and otherworldly mystery about a diabolical operation and its terrifying repercussions. After rescuing a young woman from the streets of London, Dr. Raymond uses her as a test subject for brain surgery aimed at "lifting the veil" of reality, to see the supernatural and the "great god Pan".
The operation is a disaster and leaves the subject lobotomized. Years later, London becomes afflicted with a strange series of male suicides connected to a beautiful but sinister woman named Helen. Just who is she, and what is her connection to Dr. Raymond's failed experiment?
First published in 1890, The Great God Pan influenced many writers of the genre, including the unrivalled master H.P. Lovecraft. It makes perfect listening for a dark and rainy evening.

Historia
An influential writer of supernatural fiction, Arthur Machen was born in Wales, in 1863. Many modern writers, such as Stephen King, have cited him as an inspiration. Perhaps most notably, though, was H.P. Lovecraft, who cites Machen as what led him down the road to eventually creating the Cthulhu Mythos. Presented here are two short stories and two novellas: "The Inmost Light", "A Fragment of Life", "The Shining Pyramid", and "The Terror."

Historia
Algernon Blackwood, a journalist and broadcast narrator, was one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. The title story, "The Touch of Pan", explores the lingering presence of myth in everyday life. In "The Glamour of the Snow", Blackwood winds a tale about a man's infatuation with a supernatural winter beauty. In "The Attic", the ghost of an usurer haunts the old Chateaux and, on the anniversary of a young boy's death, the boy's cat brings the family together. "The Willows" follows two campers who are on a canoe trip down the Danube.

Lovers of legends know that this is the finest retelling of the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table; lovers of literature know that this is the greatest of all 19th-century narrative poems. In Tennyson’s gloriously written tale of swashbuckling feats on and off the jousting field, the honour of maidens, knights, queens and kings is won or lost. Above all, the Quest for the Holy Grail spurs the bravest of knights on to deeds of terrifying foolhardiness and courage.

Wilkie Collins' follow-up to The Woman in White and No Name is an innovative take on mistaken identity, the nature of evil, and the dark underbelly of Victorian England. The story concerns two distant cousins, both named Allan Armadale, and the impact of a family tragedy, which makes one of them a target of the murderous Lydia Gwilt, a vicious and malevolent charmer determined to get her hands on the Armadale fortune. Will the real Allan Armadale be revealed, and will he survive the plot against his life?

Lord Byron's satirical take on the legend of Don Juan is a moving and witty poem that sees the young hero in a reversal of roles. Juan sheds his image as a womanizer and instead becomes the victim of circumstance as he is relentlessly pursued by every woman he meets. Comprising 17 cantos of rhyming iambic pentameter, the poem is a crisp and accessible meditation on the madness of the world.

The Three Impostors is a series of convoluted horror tales about three individuals who are searching for a "young man with spectacles" who has inadvertently stolen something of great importance to a secret society of which they are members. The story then goes back in time before the opening scene where the three impostors assume various personas and roles, weaving stories about their prey in an effort to attract attention to him and gain the aid of unsuspecting people.

Historia
Written by Ambrose Bierce, and narrated by Mike Vendetti, this story concerns a man from the ancient city of Carcosa who awakens from a sickness-induced sleep to find himself lost in an unfamiliar wilderness. Carcosa was subsequently borrowed by Robert W. Chambers as the setting of his fictional play, The King in Yellow, and features heavily in many of the stories in the book of the same name. These concepts were further expanded upon by H. P. Lovecraft in his Cthulhu Mythos stories.

One winter, in the dark days of King Richard II, a tailor was riding home on the road from Gilling to Ampleforth. It was dank, wet and gloomy; he couldn't wait to get home and sit in front of a blazing fire. Then, out of nowhere, the tailor is knocked off his horse by a raven, who then transforms into a hideous dog, his mouth writhing with its own innards. The dog issues the tailor with a warning: he must go to a priest and ask for absolution and return to the road, or else there will be consequences.

Machen Mellow
I was disappointed when I heard Peter Wickham reading Machen’s male characters in tone of a London clubman but I had to admit that this voice did fit them. Unfortunately two of Machen’s greatest tales are narrated by women and Wickham’s female voices grated. I still enjoyed hearing the tales of the great horror innovator who conjured horrors he was (usually) too Victorian to describe.

Yawn
I had high expectations since Stephen King names this book as an inspiration for his work. The stories may be the progenitor for modern horror, but the narration was not distinct and at time tended to drone on in a near monotone voice. I haven’t finished the audio book. This is one rare time it was easier to read the actual book.

Wonderful Performance of Fantastic Tales
Peter Wickham does a marvellous job bringing these weird and fantastic (in both senses of the word) tales to life. I'll always reread these stories with his characteristic "yeeesss..." in my head.
A previous review states that these stories are abridged. That is totally incorrect. I listened along with the original texts and everything is complete.
For anyone unfamiliar with Machen, this is a great overview of his "big hits" but you'll want to go further after this first taste.

Introduction to Arthur Machen
So I had heard about Arthur Machen. Think I heard some of his stuff on BBC radio 4 at some point. Thought to enlarge my taste of his sort of stories on Audible. He is quite the master of a slow burn vague sense of creepiness. More unsettling than sheer stark horror. Read: Psychological, subliminal rather than blatant blood and thrills. Also, the element of Mother Nature - in her darker moods (the trees are turning on you) and fairy folk who live intimately in that milieu - is very bold in his flavor of writing. And does leave you with a keen sense of the time and place in which he lived and wrote. #Dark #Creepy #Absurd #Quirky #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Victorian Mysticism at its Best
Machen's stories captured my imagination with their allusive and elusive subject matter. The nesting and interweaving of stories across the collection is masterful. Wickham's narration communicates an air of wonder and awe. He's excellent. I probably enjoyed it more read aloud than if I'd read it myself. It reminds of why Brit Lit fascinated me as a girl.

A well-written cure for insomnia
H.P. Lovecraft is one of my favorite authors, so when I read his praise for Arthur Machen's work in a treatise he wrote about weird fiction, I was excited to listen to this. Mr. Machen was a very competent writer, but just because one can string together words eloquently doesn't mean one can write a good story. He's great at creating atmosphere, and there is some really engaging dialogue. But there are no thrills here. Not one decent scare. The stories meander on and fizzle out at the end. Sometimes a story would come to an end and another one would begin, and I thought I was still listening to the same story. The conclusions were not at all worth the buildup. I couldn't make it all the way through the book, unfortunately, though I took several breaks from it to listen to books that were actually entertaining. The only thing "weird" about this book is why Lovecraft liked it so much.
