Summary: "The Great God Pan" by Arthur Machen is a horror novella written in the late 19th century. The story examines themes of scientific exploration and the mysterious boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms, following Dr. Raymond and his companion Clarke as they embark on a radical experiment involving a girl named Mary who is to be subjected to an operation meant to reveal the existence of the supernatural. The beginning of the novella introduces readers to Dr. Raymond, an ambitious scientist, and his apprehensive friend Clarke, who has come to witness a controversial experiment.

As they prepare for the operation on Mary, there is a palpable tension, and the air thickens with anticipation of what might unfold.
