Publisher Description
The House on the Borderland is a supernatural horror novel by William Hope Hodgson. He went beyond the existing ghost story and gothic molds, synthesizing a new cosmic horror that made a huge impact on later writers of weird tales, notably H. P. Lovecraft. The two gentlemen Tonnison and Berreggnog head to a village in Ireland for a week's fishing. There they discover the ruins of a strange house and the diary of the house's former occupant, the words on its torn pages hinting at an evil far beyond anything that has existed in this world before.

“I loved the creature feature stuff and the house defence but it lost me in the second half and never quite got me back.”

“Not sure how to review or really rate a book that identifies as 3 genres, is a trailblazer for its time, and is so thought provoking that I am both angry and in utter disbelief with the year that this was written in. The only thing I can say is it sort of meanders for 75 pages and I didn't particularly enjoy that as much as the rest of the book. Also why don't we use by jove anymore? I propose a return.”
