"It was a place shunned by the people of the village, as it had been shunned by their fathers before them. There were many things said about it, and all were of evil. No one ever went near it, either by day or night. In the village it was a synonym of all that is unholy and dreadful."
The three self-contained novels in William Hope Hodgson''s "elemental" horror trilogy do not share central characters or locations, instead-through transcribed testimonies and "found" manuscripts-they weave narratives of growing dread and unease among sailors in peril, haunted house residents, and unknown monsters from the deep. Enjoy the unspoken horrors of The Boats of the "Glen Carrig," The House on the Borderland and The Ghost Pirates.
