{"product_id":"the-great-god-pan-and-other-horror-stories","title":"The Great God Pan and Other Horror Stories","description":"Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen's 'weird fiction' has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new collection, which includes the complete novel \u003cem\u003eThe Three Impostors\u003c\/em\u003e as well as such celebrated tales as \u003cem\u003eThe Great God Pan\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe White People\u003c\/em\u003e, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen's weird vision. The edition's introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53854821482834,"sku":"9780198805106","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_c8f97dc1-f080-47ad-bea9-ee843d17894c.jpg?v=1782601941","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-great-god-pan-and-other-horror-stories","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
