The Great God Pan was highly influential on the circle of writers around H. P. Lovecraft. The structure of Machen's story influenced the structure of Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928). Pan's depiction of a monstrous half-human hybrid inspired the plot of Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror" (1929), which refers to Machen's novella by name.

The Great God Pan is an 1894 horror and fantasy novella by the Welsh writer Arthur Machen. Machen was inspired to write The Great God Pan by his experiences at the ruins of a pagan temple in Wales. On publication, it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its implied sexual content, and the novella hurt Machen's reputation as an author.

После восторженного отзыва Лавкрафта (в статье «Сверхъестественный ужас в литературе») повесть Мейчена стала восприниматься как классика литературы ужасов.

Arthur Llewellyn Jones (3 March 1863 – 15 December 1947), known by his pen name Arthur Machen (/ˈmækən/ or /ˈmæxən/), was a Welsh author and mystic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy and horror fiction. His novella The Great God Pan (1890; 1894) has garnered a reputation as a classic of horror; Stephen King described it as "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language."

The phrase is "chases in Arras, gilded emptiness," a line from the 1633 poem "Dotage" by Welsh poet and clergyman George Herbert

Прочитал я книгу. В чём ужас то? И почему это лучший рассказ ужасов и при чём тут пуританство викторианской эпохи, всё достаточно невинно? Не знаю.

Valentine and Orson

It is the story of twin brothers, abandoned in the woods in infancy. Valentine is brought up as a knight at the court of Pepin, while Orson grows up in a bear's den to be a wild man of the woods, until Valentine finds, overcomes, and tames him. He then becomes Valentine's servant and comrade.

Are not there little chapters in eveybody's life, that seem to be nothing, and yet affect all the rest of the history?
