A superlative short story in the "parallel words thinly separated" tradition of the "Gunslinger" series and "Crouch End". In the story, SK acknowledges his debt to Arthur Machen's great story "The Great God Pan". What he does not mention is that Machen also wrote a short story / novella called "N" -- which is also about "parallel worlds thinly separated". In fact, IMHO Machen's "N" is at least as great as his "The Great God Pan". JIM
