The House on the Borderland [Illustrated] (Lovecraftian Librarium Book 4)

ONE OF THE FINEST examples of cosmic and existential horror, William Hope Hodgson s THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is an unforgettable journey into the wilds of Chaos which lie beyond (and infringe upon) the time and space of our own domain. H. P. Lovecraft regarded Hodgson as perhaps second only to Algernon Blackwood in his serious treatment of unreality, and this novel as perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson s works.

This book was also used as a source of inspiration by E. Gary Gygax, who took several elements the Keep overlooking a great chasm, the swine-like orcs (as envisioned by David C. Sutherland III), the Caves of Chaos, and perhaps even the mad and reclusive hermit from Hodgson s work for use in Dungeon Module B2, The Keep on the Borderlands.

This work is one of the volumes of the LOVECRAFTIAN LIBRARIUM, a treasury of the masterworks which H.P. Lovecraft modeled his own writings upon in his development of the Cthulhu Mythos. For readers interested in the very best tales of the supernatural, the Librarium will prove to be one of the finest collections of classic essentials!

This Wonderland Imprints edition of Hodgson s magnum opus includes 27 illustrations, and has been carefully re-edited. This work includes 29 chapters, 52,000 words, approximately 175 pages. From Wonderland Imprints, Only the Finest Works of Fantasy.
