The Great God Pan And The Hill Of
Dreams by Arthur Machen
The Great God Pan
The Great God Pan is a novella written by Arthur Machen. On publication it
was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of
its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a
reputation as a classic of horror. Machens story was only one of many at
the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and
paganism.
The Hill of Dreams is a semi-autobiographical novel by Arthur Machen.
Generally thought to be Machens greatest work, it was little noticed on its
publication in 1907 save in a glowing review by Alfred Douglas. It was
actually written between 1895 and 1897 and has elements of the style of
the decadent and aesthetic movement of the period, seen through
Machens own mystical preoccupations.

Personal Review: The Great God Pan And The Hill Of Dreams by
Arthur Machen
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.
