The Female Cthulhu

[setsuled]

So much of Victorian horror seems involved with what a terribly frightening thing sex is, or at least enjoying sex, which seems to be the case with "The Great God Pan", a deservedly renowned novella by Arthur Machen. Its influence on H.P. Lovecraft in particular is incredibly evident, though perhaps some would say it doesn't endure in popularity

My sister got me this for Christmas off my Amazon wishlist! Looking even more forward to reading it now.

(Though not, you know. Inappropriately forward. Steady on, old chap.)

I did read the whole thing in one day, and I'm a slow reader, so it is quite enjoyable. The story seems to be blushing uncontrollably the whole time you're reading it.
