Description


Readers who love supernatural elements and horror stories will be delighted by William Hope Hodgson’s The House on the Borderland. Listed as one of the most influential books by H. P. Lovecraft, one of the masters of the genre, Hodgson’s book is a true classic and a must-read for fans of science fiction, fantasy and uncanny horror stories.

The story is placed into a frame. Two men go fishing to an Irish village and they come across a strange ruin of a house in which they find the diary of its late inhabitant, a Recluse. The diary starts with the story of how the Recluse became the owner of the house and how he experienced the strangest happenings both inside and around the building. He continues by telling about a vision of pig-like creatures and about how he was attacked by these creatures in real life.

When he wards off the attack of the creatures after several days of fighting and after having killed many of the ferocious animals, the Recluse sets off to find where the animals have retreated and he finds a pit, then a river and a tunnel, then he tells the story of how he was transported by the house to the Sea of Sleep where he is reunited with his long lost love. The extraordinary journey of the Recluse does not end here, though, the story prompting the two readers of the diary to find out more about the history of the house – and they do, eventually.

The novel is an excellent horror story, full of unsolved mysteries, plot lines that are never fully explored – an aspect that makes it all even more powerful. The writing style and the way the plot is woven are equally unique – just make sure there is someone around while you are reading it.
