About the author

William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was born in Essex but moved several times, including a stint in County Galway – inspiration for The House on the Borderland. Drawn to the sea, he worked in the Merchant Marine. His association with the ocean would unfold in his many sea stories, part of a fantastic legacy of adventure, mystery and horror fiction.Jonathan Newell is an instructor at Langara College in Vancouver, Canada. His first book, A Century of Weird Fiction, 1832–1937, traces the twisted entanglement of revulsion, ecstasy, mysticism, and ontological speculation through the works of authors like Algernon Blackwood, H.P. Lovecraft, and William Hope Hodgson.
