Synopsis "The Elemental Trilogy: The Boats of the "Glen Carrig," The House on the Borderland & The Ghost Pirates (in English)"

"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.Curated and edited by C.S.R. Calloway, Horror Historia brings together the most influential monsters and original gothic stories in one blood-curdling collection.

Nació en 1875, hijo de un clérigo de Essex, y desde muy temprano se hizo a la mar como tripulante de barcos mercantes. No obstante, Hodgson aborrecía aquella vida, y en cuanto tuvo ocasión la abandonó para dedicarse a otras labores y a escribir relatos llenos de misterio, terror y aventura, ambientados muchos de ellos en el mar, un mar peligroso y lleno de entidades monstruosas y barcos abandonados. A pesar de que durante años la obra de Hodgson permaneció en el olvido a causa de su temprana muerte en Francia, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, truncándose así su carrera literaria, autores como H.P. Lovecraft, que hablaba con entusiasmo de su novela sobrenatural La casa en el confín de la tierra (en esta misma colección), o Clark Ashton Smith lo reivindicaron como maestro (junto a Ambrose Bierce y otros) de la naciente escuela norteamericana del Horror Sobrenatural.
