A classic fantasy/horror novella. A young Welsh woman's mind is destroyed by a "scientist's" attempt to enable her to see the god of nature, Pan. Years later Helen Vaughan arrives on the London social scene and disturbing events begin to occur to the men she corrupts. Who is this woman? What evil was brought into the world by Dr. Raymond's experiment?

I found the mystery an interesting thread to follow, but I never found myself particularly immersed in the story. The prose is very beautifully written, and I did not expect the twist at the end.

Ho terminato questo libro, ma vorrei fare una recensione più approfondita dopo aver letto l’edizione edita L’Ippocampo perché ho visto che ci sono storie/approfondimenti in più.
Intanto posso già dire che mi è piaciuto tantissimo, ho amato le atmosfere cupe londinesi. Sto riscoprendo una passione per questo genere di storie che ho snobbato per anni.
Misteri, mostri, streghe… Adoro tutto ciò 😍
