A review by loieveee
The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

I read this because I saw something about Severance being inspired by it. It’s an excellent companion piece and provides some insight. 

Despite its age, it’s an easy read (unlike a lot of gothic lit from the time) and maintains suspense throughout. 

At times, the writing is a bit clunky—BUT Machen wrote most of this in a single day, so I can forgive that.
