Showing results for "Pan" in Dark Fantasy

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.

Inspired by a trip to a graveyard in Wales, the novella was originally not well received. The Great God Pan is now considered an excellent example of Gothic fiction, and has influenced such writers as Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury.

Die wahre - und schaurige - Geschichte von Captain Hook aus der Feder von SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Christina Henry! Du glaubst, meine Geschichte zu kennen. Aber sie entspricht nicht der Wahrheit. Denn Peter Pan lügt. Peter wird euch erzählen, dass ich der Bösewicht bin, dass ich ihm Unrecht getan habe, dass ich niemals sein Freund war. Aber wie ich schon sagte, Peter lügt. Dies ist, was wirklich geschehen ist: Ich bin Peter Pan auf seine Insel gefolgt, weil er mir ewige Kindheit und unendlichen Spaß versprochen hat.
