HOPE HODGSON WILLIAM THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND

Penguin Weird Fiction: a celebration of the very best of the weird  a store of novels and tales
that for generations have delighted and horrified. A manuscript is found. Filled with small 
precise writing and smelling of pit-water  it tells the story of an old recluse and his strange
home - and it's even stranger  jade-green double  seen by that old man on an otherworldly plain
where gigantic gods and monsters roam. Soon his earthly abode is no less terrible than this
strange vision  as swine-like creatures boil from a cavern beneath the ground and besiege it.
But a still greater horror will face the recluse  one more awful than any creature that can be
fought or killed. The House on the Borderland  William Hope Hodgson's great masterpiece of
cosmic fear  is an extraordinary novel that defied all accepted conventions of horror writing 
forging in an instant a new  weird direction for the form. 'Forget vampires and gore . . . this
is where the screaming really starts  out in the void  with no one left to hear' Terry
Pratchett
