The House on the Borderland

Have you ever wondered why some places feel like they were never meant for this world?

Step into The House on the Borderland, a groundbreaking work of supernatural horror that defies categorization and plunges deep into cosmic madness.

Written in 1908, William Hope Hodgson's novel follows two travelers who discover the ruined remnants of an ancient house and, within it, a crumbling journal. What they read takes them-and the reader-into the confessions of a man who lived alone on the edge of reality itself. Haunted by otherworldly beings, assaulted by swarms of demonic swine-things, and transported into a terrifying future where Earth itself is dying, this solitary narrator recounts his descent into a world far beyond human comprehension.

What seems at first a haunted house story becomes something infinitely darker: a cosmic epic of decay, insanity, and the fragility of existence.

This modern translation maintains Hodgson's chilling atmosphere and epic vision while updating the language for clarity and flow, ensuring a powerful experience for contemporary readers.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

• A Visionary Work of Cosmic Horror - Predating Lovecraft, this novel explores vast, unknowable forces and the insignificance of mankind.
• A Terrifying Haunted House Tale - At the story's core is a crumbling house that serves as a portal to other dimensions.
