Аннотация
On publication The Great God Pan was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. In Supernatural Horror in Literature, H. P. Lovecraft praised the story, saying: «No one could begin to describe the cumulative suspense and ultimate horror with which every paragraph abounds»; he added that «the sensitive reader» reaches the end with «an appreciative shudder.» Lovecraft also noted, however, that «melodrama is undeniably present, and coincidence is stretched to a length which appears absurd upon analysis.» Bennett Cerf described the story as a «masterpiece». Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was a Welsh author and mystic of the 1890s and early 20th century. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His book The Great God Pan has garnered a reputation as a classic of horror (Stephen King has called it «Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language»).

Аннотация
Quizá ninguna otra figura encarne mejor la transición de la tradición gótica al horror moderno que Arthur Machen. En la última década del siglo XIX, el escritor galés produjo un cuerpo seminal de relatos de horror y de lo oculto, de corrupción espiritual y física, y de sobrevivientes malignos del pasado primigenio, que horrorizaron y escandalizaron a los lectores de finales de la era victoriana. La casa de las almas es una colección de cuatro obras maestras del horror y el misterio, publicadas por primera vez en un solo volumen en 1906: «Un fragmento de vida», «La gente blanca», «El gran dios Pan» y «La luz más recóndita». En palabras de Stephen King, «„El gran dios Pan“ es el mejor relato de terror que se ha escrito en lengua inglesa»; para Guillermo del Toro, es prueba fehaciente de que «el mal nunca reposa: está gestando». «Arthur Machen puede, alguna vez, proponernos fábulas increíbles, pero sentimos que las ha inspirado una emoción genuina. Casi nunca escribió para el asombro ajeno; lo hizo porque se sabía habitante de un mundo extraño.» Jorge Luis Borges «Entre los creadores modernos del horror cósmico elevado a su punto artístico más alto, pocos pueden tener la esperanza de rivalizar con el versátil Arthur Machen, autor de una docena de relatos en donde los elementos de terror oculto y amenaza siniestra alcanzan una incomparable esencia y agudeza realista.» H.P. Lovecraft
