Synopsis "The House on the Borderland - Large Print Edition"

Two men on a fishing trip in Ireland come across the ruins an old house, and inside that house they find the journal of a man known as The Recluse. The journal records his last days, and tells the story of how he finds himself transported to another realm where a larger version of his house stands, though it's made of jade-like substance. This arena, known as the Plain of Silence is populated by humanoid swine creatures with a craving for human flesh. The House on the Borderland is a classic horror fantasy, and was a heavy influence on H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and all the horror writers who came after them. If you haven't read it, you're missing on on a chilling experience. This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.

Nació en 1875, hijo de un clérigo de Essex, y desde muy temprano se hizo a la mar como tripulante de barcos mercantes. No obstante, Hodgson aborrecía aquella vida, y en cuanto tuvo ocasión la abandonó para dedicarse a otras labores y a escribir relatos llenos de misterio, terror y aventura, ambientados muchos de ellos en el mar, un mar peligroso y lleno de entidades monstruosas y barcos abandonados. A pesar de que durante años la obra de Hodgson permaneció en el olvido a causa de su temprana muerte en Francia, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, truncándose así su carrera literaria, autores como H.P. Lovecraft, que hablaba con entusiasmo de su novela sobrenatural La casa en el confín de la tierra (en esta misma colección), o Clark Ashton Smith lo reivindicaron como maestro (junto a Ambrose Bierce y otros) de la naciente escuela norteamericana del Horror Sobrenatural.
