I was meant to leave this comment quite some time ago, but now that this time has passed I can truly say that The Great God Pan really sticks with you. I can still vividly see in my mind's eye the opening with Clarke and Dr. Raymond talking in the porch, the last dying lights of the sunset as they have that unnerving and strained conversation. I can still recall Dr. Raymond babble about those vague, unsettling things about their reality not being what it is, not real, and what truly lies beyond, and that he *can* reach into them. And then, well, the following events after that happened were just off-putting, if not haunting, to say the least. The little boy who woke up confused from his nap and saw Helen in the woods with the "strange naked man", and then Villiers' and Austin's investigations on what was happening in those London streets and--- man, what a strange, haunting tale. There are many unanswered things, especially about what happened to Rachel, but I can't help but be thankful that the author didn't write about her fate, because I'm already scared for her as it is lol. All in all, I'm happy you read this story, Ian! Keep up the great work, for there are countless haunting stories such as this to be told! Thank you!

An approach to the abysses, their horrors, revelations and delights, from a different direction. Long narrations are much preferable to those under 60 minutes! The mind has leisure to make clearer pictures. I'll listen to this again - now that I know what happens, it'll be easier to catch nuances. I do this with my books, always, and am curious what'll happen when only one sense is busy... My appreciation to producers and the wonderful narrator!

Machen does it again. Such amazing talent and damn fine writing!! The details included in his works never ceases to amaze me. I listened to this thing twice in its entirety this week. I did that so I could link the story together, just like in "The Three Imposters". I enjoyed listening to certain chapters more than twice so I could get all the details. This guy knew how to weave a tale like a spider weaves a cobweb. The multiple connections are amazing. Thank you, Ian, for bringing us Machen's wonderful tales. I knew of "The White People", but did not delve any further into his works. I cannot I missed out on his works all these years (hanging my head in shame). Great job on all the voices. This is utterly fantastic and amazing! I wondered about the image on the front....until Chapter 6!! The artwork is amazing! Looking at that during the entire recoding made me think, "when the picture is explained I am gonna say whoa". I did!

It is said that Lovecraft was influenced by Machen’s work. For example, his portrayal of Celtic god Nodens, is believed by some to be influenced by Machen’s Great God Pan,as the story also mentioned Nodens,hinting the Celtic god might be related with Great God Pan. Lovecraft's famous work “The Dunwich Horror” even made some references of Machen’s “Great God Pan”. However, despite the speculation that Lovecraft’s “Elder God Nodens” was influenced by Machen’s Great God Pan. In CoC supplements, the Great God Pan himself was portrayed as a manifestation of Shub Niggurath.

As Lovecraft wrote, "You might as well say you have a strong suspicion that Milton wrote Paradise Lost". Point being, Machen's influence on Lovecraft is well-established and I highly recommend the preface to Derleth's The Mask of Cthulu, an in-depth examination of the intricate connections between the works of Machen, Lovecraft, Bloch, Campbell, Howard and the rest of the Mythos gang. A must-read for fans of and quire edifying.

As well it should since Lovecraft owes a significant debt of inspiration to Machen for providing several basis for all of those stories and many more. Some astute experts of the genre have even declared certain of Lovecraft's stories as pastiches of Machen's earlier works. Recommendation: the preface to The Mask of Cthulhu, an in-depth study of the connections between Machen, Lovecraft, Howard, Bloch, Campbell and the rest of the Mythos crowd.

A fair warning before anyone listens to this: if tragic and disgusting things bother you, this isn't for you.

I listened to this many times and yet did not find it scary. The reason I say this is because apparently Stephen King considered it the scariest story he had ever read and yet I have listened to other stories that sounded scarier. I know it influenced many writers such as Lovecraft but I guess this must have lost it's muster compared to today

No - the original was removed as a precaution due to the imagery used throughout. It was probably fair use - but given the fact YT have still to offer us an explanation of any kind, we can't be too careful.

Spoiler . . . . . Helen is the child of Mary and Pan. So she is a demigod trickster who takes different names. Then her strangulation kills her human part and the godlike part is very unstable and also dies.

Sadly, didn't enjoy this story... nothing much happened, I never got answers I wanted, wasn't scary in the least. Characters describe the *** as evil but we never got to really see it. Kind of tame.😔 Lovecraft is better. Thanks for the narration, nothing wrong with it.

6 minutes in and I'm finding the delivery way too light and uncertain. Not convinced you prepare the sentences for delivery, nor get the sense or atmosphere over in your tone.

Hi Aidan - Ian here. This was one of our very first recordings, when finding the time to record was a bit of a challenge. My approach would probably differ if I were to record it again, but overall, I'm happy with the way it turned out. Perhaps you'd prefer something more recent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSqYnlpbqx1d5o Either way, thanks for giving us a chance!

Honestly, I know I have a differing opinion which probably won't please people, but I prefer these recordings. I like his light conversational style in this. He sounds like a real person relating a story. Now that this channel has become an institution, with a following, and a reputation to live up to, in newer recordings the delivery all sounds the same. I can kind of understand why...Horrorbabble is supposed to have a certain tone, a certain edgy grimness; it's what people expect. So every story has to have the same exact tone. His voice has become a trademark like Vincent Price or Christopher Lee; great for popularity and making money, but the actual individuality of the characters and the story suffers because everything has to be read in the expected voice; one must deliver the goods now, I guess. I wish there was some variation in tone and character as in this recording. Just my opinion, not at all trying to be insulting, but it's one of the reasons that even though your story selection is outstanding, I usually look to see if I can find anyone else reading it first. Your beginning voice was more real,
