I was disappointed when I heard Peter Wickham reading Machen’s male characters in tone of a London clubman but I had to admit that this voice did fit them. Unfortunately, two of Machen’s greatest tales are narrated by women and Wickham’s female voices grated. I still enjoyed hearing the tales of the great horror innovator who conjured horrors he was (usually) too Victorian to describe. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
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 lobotomised. Years later, London becomes afflicted with a strange series of male suicides connected to a beautiful but sinister woman named Helen. Just who is she, and what is her connection to Dr Raymond's failed experiment? First published in 1890, The Great God Pan influenced many writers of the genre, including the unrivalled master H.P. Lovecraft. It makes perfect listening for a dark and rainy evening. The collection also includes: The White People, The Green Book, The Inmost Light, The Novel of the Black Seal, The Novel of the White Powder, The Red Hand, The Shining Pyramid and A Fragment of Life.
