The Great God Pan and Other Horror Stories by Aaron Worth, Arthur Machen

chaydata's review against another edition

3.0

The White People - It was read in "The Events At Poroth Farm" (T.E.D. Klein) which I enjoyed, so I found the original to read myself. Echoes of body movement rituals in the woods and stories within stories. It seems well written but, to me, tedious... Intentionally lacking in paragraphs and periods. Long wandering with vague descriptions. Left me feeling mysterious and annoyed. I'm sure it's good and I'm failing to appreciate it properly.

Update: I read The Great God Pan. It's a well knit mystery/ horror. Sometimes I found it difficult to follow. Wish I had the patience to read more of the stories from here.

While I enjoyed most of these stories, they're very forgettable, to where I'd struggle to give you a summary mere hours after finishing a story.
