Beschreibung
Two friends on a fishing trip discover a manuscript that chronicles a tale of cosmic horror in the ruins of an oddly shaped house at the edge of an abyss in a remote Irish landscape. The manuscript describes the apparent descent into madness of its author, a recluse who, according to his strange account, witnesses the destruction of the solar system and time itself. The House on the Borderland is a singular work that transcends Gothic-style psychological haunting to introduce a modern, evocative blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy. This Warbler Classics edition includes the first-edition annotations and a detailed biographical timeline.

Über den Autor
William Hope Hodgson (15 November 1877 - 19 April 1918) was an English author. He produced a large body of work, consisting of essays, short fiction, and novels, spanning several overlapping genres including horror, fantastic fiction, and science fiction.Hodgson used his experiences at sea to lend authentic detail to his short horror stories, many of which are set on the ocean, including his series of linked tales forming the "Sargasso Sea Stories". His novels, such as The House on the Borderland (1908) and The Night Land (1912), feature more cosmic themes, but several of his novels also focus on horrors associated with the sea. Early in his writing career Hodgson dedicated effort to poetry, although few of his poems were published during his lifetime. He also attracted some notice as a photographer and achieved renown as a bodybuilder. He died in World War I at age 40.
