  A gothic masterpiece set in Victorian England: “One of the best horror stories ever written. Perhaps the best in the English language” (Stephen King). When Mr. Clarke agrees to visit his friend Dr. Raymond, he is dubious about the proceedings he is to witness. In pursuit of what Raymond calls “transcendental science,” the doctor intends to make a small incision in a woman’s brain, allowing her to see past the world of the senses to a reality beyond imagining—a realm where, Raymond says, one can see the great god Pan. Though the experiment is an apparent failure, it will not be Clarke’s last brush with the sinister beyond.   Years later, Clarke hears of a woman named Helen Vaughan, who is said to be at the root of many mysterious and tragic events. From London to the Americas and back, a string of suicides and disappearances lay in the wake of this evil seductress, whom Clarke believes is not entirely of this world.   Upon publication in 1890, Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan was deemed controversial for its depictions of paganism and sexual depravity. It has since been recognized as a masterwork of gothic horror.  This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

  Notopia is an alternate universe constructed by the collective thousands of years ago. Dreams and aspirations live alongside people until they recognize and accept each other. At which time, they are blissfully swept back to reality to forge ahead with their new alliance. However, all is not well in this wondrous place. An unforeseen assault is afoot in Notopia that will destroy Notopia and all of humanity if not stopped. The heroine of the story, Gwen, travels to Notopia, encountering many people and many dreams. It is both fascinating and unsettling to her at first, but she quickly gains confidence and discovers an evil presence is there as well. The evil entity is hell-bent on gaining control of the human subconscious and conscious minds. And it has found a way to do that by first destroying Notopia and stopping the ability to dream. Once done, it will then feed off the negative energy produced by fear and anger in humans. And if we can't dream, we can never come up with a way to stop it. Gwen finds new friends, finds exciting dreams, and finds love. Unfortunately, Her love finds his dream and must now choose between her, but that is not her biggest problem.
