Written by [[Arthur Machen]] in 1894 and originally published in a magazine, ''The Great God Pan'' is known for being one of the prototypes of the [[Cosmic Horror Story|Cosmic Horror]] genre. It was a huge influence on [[H.P. Lovecraft|HP Lovecraft]], who used it as the basis for his own story ''[[The Dunwich Horror]]'', as well as for the [[Cthulhu Mythos|deity]] [[Mother of a Thousand Young|Shub-Niggurath]]. It is worth noting that the main themes of the story - the idea that there are [[Things Man Was Not Meant to Know]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|horrors outside of our reality that we do not understand]] - are very Lovecraftian in nature, making these tropes [[Older Than They Think|older than you think]].
