Horror
by William Hope Hodgson · British Library Tales of the Weird series
William Hope Hodgson's 1908 cosmic horror novel follows two travelers who discover a manuscript detailing the bizarre visions of a recluse living in a remote Irish house. The manuscript reveals apocalyptic visions, interdimensional travel, and a house under siege by grotesque creatures. Hodgson synthesizes gothic, science fiction, and cosmic horror into something entirely new, presaging Lovecraft's work with its vision of humanity's insignificance in an alien cosmos.
