The Weird Tales of William Hope Hodgson

A splash of something huge resounds through the sea-fog. In the stillness of a dark room, some unspeakable evil is making its approach...

This new selection offers the most chilling and unsettling of Hodgson's short fiction, from encounters with abominations at sea to fireside tales of otherworldly forces from his inventive `occult detective' character Carnacki, the ghost finder.

A master of conjuring atmosphere, when the horror inevitably arrives it is delivered with breathtaking pace and the author's unique evocation of overwhelming panic.

William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was a key figure in British weird fiction, renowned for tales of horror and adventure at sea as well as his post-apocalyptic fantasy novel The Night Land (1912). Following his death near Ypres during the First World War, his stories continued to be published posthumously throughout the twentieth century.
