Böcker av W. H. Hodgson

This timeless tale of supernatural horror presents the extraordinary encounters of a man trapped in an isolated mansion consumed by unimaginable terror. When two men discover a strange abyss in the secluded reaches of Western Ireland, they come across a journal in the abandoned ruins of an old house. The account recorded within its pages reveals a harrowing tale of unexplained phenomena. First published in 1908, The House on the Borderland is William Hope Hodgson's masterful novella of eerie horror and otherworldly experiences.

William Hope Hodgson spent his early life as a cabin boy, before becoming a prolific author. Although best-known nowadays for two novels - The House on the Borderland (1908) and The Night Land (1912) - his short fiction was also extremely popular in its day. Many of the earliest ghost stories and tales of hauntings, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Night Land " - this fantasy of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid & besieged by monstrous, hybrid & altogether unknown forces of darkness, is something that no reader can ever forger" (H. P. Lovecraft). "One of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written" - H.P.Lovecraft. Lovecraft wasn't wrong: this is, perhaps, the greatest single work of fantastic fiction in the English language. The sun has died, as have the stars. Not a solitary light shines in the heavens. The days of light are nothing by a legend - they are a story told to soothe children. The last millions of humans still live in their Last Redoubt - but the end of their days is at hand.
