The Gods of Pegana

The unique creation of a fictional pantheon marks this collection of interconnected short stories, where Mana-Yood-Sushai, the first god, poses a threat to existence itself. Dunsany's imaginative realms are populated by fairies and deities, often tinged with macabre elements. His storytelling weaves a rich tapestry of fantasy that has left a lasting impact on notable authors like J. R. R. Tolkien and H. P. Lovecraft. This work showcases Dunsany's ingenuity in crafting worlds filled with wonder and existential peril.
