Many are the hours in which I have pondered upon the story that is set forth in the following pages. I trust that my instincts are not awry when they prompt me to leave the account, in simplicity, as it was handed to me.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

A house seemingly disconnected in time and space becomes the setting for brutal conflict between the hapless homeowner and a collection of grotesque semi-human creatures in this landmark of fantasy and horror.

 

The House on the Borderland is the account of a man, known only as the recluse, who moves into a remote and shunned house and unwittingly finds himself suspended between worlds, traveling through time, and fighting for his life against a siege of misshapen monstrosities. The author’s sweeping imagination evokes a wide variety of fantastical effects, from eerie intimations of the weird to vivid manifestations of supernatural horror, from fabulous glimpses of otherworldly landscapes to direct combat with non-human assailants of murderous intent. First published in 1908, the novel quickly acquired a reputation as a rare and visionary example of cosmic horror that would influence and draw praise from H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Olaf Stapleton and others. As gripping and surreal as a fever dream, The House on the Borderland remains one of the most transporting destinations in literature.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The House on the Borderland is both modern and readable.


Notă biografică

English writer William Hope Hodgson lived from 15 November 1877 to 19 April 1918. The son of the Reverend Samuel Hodgson, an Anglican clergyman, and Lissie Sarah Brown, Hodgson was born in the Essex hamlet of Blackmore End, close to the city of Braintree. He founded a School of Physical Culture in Blackburn, England, in 1899 when he was just 22 years old. Personal training exercise programs were available from the school. Police officers from the city of Blackburn were among his clients. ""The Goddess of Death"" was Hodgson's debut short fiction (1904). A Hindu statue taken from an Indian temple and placed in a tiny English town is the subject of a story that centers on a monument of Flora that was formerly located in Corporation Park, Blackburn. During the Fourth Battle of Ypres in April 1918, Hodgson was killed by the immediate impact of an artillery round. On May 2, 1918, The Times published an obituary of him.
