Description
The Horned God: Weird Tales of the Great God Pan This collection brings together a diverse range of tales and poems that explore the fascinating figure of the pagan goat god Pan. From the early 20th century to the present day, writers have been drawn to Pan's association with unbridled energy, pagan ecstasy, and the forces of nature. The stories in this book showcase the god's power to disrupt society and compel protagonists to ecstatic heights or bizarre dooms. Featuring an eclectic selection of tales and poems from influential writers, including those who published in the popular Weird Tales magazine, this collection examines the roots of a cultural phenomenon and celebrates the transgressive and queer themes that Pan has introduced into the weird stories of the past.
