Summary

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
When a scientist performs a radical brain experiment on an innocent woman, he claims she is now able to "see the great god Pan." But what begins as a bold scientific pursuit soon spirals into a series of grotesque deaths, psychological unravelings, and an unspeakable evil lurking behind the veil of ordinary life.

Originally condemned as "too horrific to be published", The Great God Pan is Arthur Machen's masterpiece of supernatural horror—a chilling exploration of madness, ancient paganism, and the dark side of scientific ambition. Revered by horror giants like H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Clive Barker, this novella helped lay the foundation for modern psychological and cosmic horror.

"The most terrifying story ever written."
– Stephen King

"Machen's influence on horror fiction is immense. The Great God Pan is a landmark of unease and dread."
– H.P. Lovecraft

    1962, and on Christmas Day at precisely 6pm, a mysterious old man by the name of Silas Finn, calls on the new owners of an ancestral home in Devon and asks which they'd prefer to hear—a story or a song. Ten-year old Enys Quiller is adamant they must have a story, just as Cousin Beatrice instructed. 
     
     
     
    "You'll be sure to tell me dreckly, won't you?" says Beatrice. "What the droll teller says?" 
     
     
     
    But the strange and macabre tale of Victorian poisoning and madness that follows, has far-reaching repercussions for Enys and her family, and after the droll teller has finished, any notion of staying there, or even together, is shattered.

    Bodies stack when Sasquatch is on crack! 
    When a popular social media sensation and renowned bigfoot hunter goes missing, her friends pickup on an important clue as to her disappearance when one of them discovers a camera with digital proof of the existence of Bigfoot in the Appalachian Mountains where she and her cameraman went missing a few days earlier. 
    Now the hunt is on to find the illusive cryptid and hopefully bring their friend back. As the band of trackers hit the mountain on this ambitious quest, one of the team harbors a dark secret. Little do the others know that one of them is addicted to a deadly synthetically altered version of crack, known on the street as Agent Orange, because it both looks like orange candy and turns its users’ eyes a hellish orange color. 
    What makes the drug so nefarious, however is that it causes a high number of its users to become enraged; prone to fits of uncontrollable violence. These violent episodes are enhanced when consumed by animals, where they have no civilized willpower against becoming raging killers themselves, attacking anything – and anyone – in their path! 
    Consequently, this expedition to the mountains will become an expedition to hell itself once the team realizes that not only are they about to find the ever-so-sought-after and (believed to be) beloved Bigfoot, but now are dealing with a raging, psychopathic Sasquatch, who has gotten ahold of the dangerous drug. 
    Warning: this book contains language and literary depictions of scenes some readers may find offensive. It is not intended for children. Reader discretion is advised.

    THE DANCER IN THE DARK: Against a black backdrop strewn with stars the silver figure in a
    long, floating dress sang and swirled, the little silk-shod feet mirrored in the polished black floor. Her voice trilled and swooped like an upper-class nightingale, with those odd strangulated vowels so alien to us today.

    Dr. Hugh Meyer believed he had created the ultimate miracle. Using the DNA of ancient creatures preserved in the Arctic, he had genetically engineered one of the most remarkable species of sea creature to ever exist: Serpentem Vectem Cel—Serpent Eel. Believed to possess the cure for countless diseases, the creature holds great promise for the medical community. 
     
     
     
    All goes awry when the beast escapes containment. With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it. 
     
     
     
    Fishing vessels are found wrecked, paddleboaters mysteriously disappear, and large whales turn up dead. Realizing his creation has become Mankind's worst nightmare, Hugh Meyer must join forces with the local police chief, a skillful mechanic, and a rich reality show star to bring the Serpent's rampage to a dead halt.
