About this Item

Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: The Great God Pan is a succinct gem of horror and mystery, a kind of spiritual variation on classic tales of lycanthropy, though its effectiveness depends on oneÕs sensitivity to and belief in, the potential horrors of the very real though unseen forces beneath material manifestation. A scientist, a self proclaimed practitioner of transcendental medicine, cuts into a young womenÕs brain to heighten her spiritual awareness, but instead Pan, the wild nature spirit , or rather the tremendous invisible life force that seethes beneath natureÕs visible cloak, enters and impregnates her. At the time of publication this book caused quite a scandal because of its suggestion that men were killing themselves because of some dark sex magic that transferred Pan from the carrier to them, though all this occurs offstage as it were.

Synopsis

The Great God Pan is a succinct gem of horror and mystery, a kind of spiritual variation on classic tales of lycanthropy, though its effectiveness depends on one’s sensitivity to and belief in, the potential horrors of the very real though unseen forces beneath material manifestation. A scientist, a self proclaimed practitioner of transcendental medicine, cuts into a young women’s brain to heighten her spiritual awareness, but instead Pan, the wild nature spirit , or rather the tremendous invisible life force that seethes beneath nature’s visible cloak, enters and impregnates her. At the time of publication this book caused quite a scandal because of its suggestion that men were killing themselves because of some dark sex magic that transferred Pan from the carrier to them, though all this occurs off-stage as it were.
