The House on the Borderland

'I had been staying just within the shadow of the exit of the great rift.

Now, without volition on my part, I drifted out of the semi-darkness and began to move slowly—toward the House.'Amidst the din of roaring water, in a chasm where a house once stood in an isolated corner of Ireland, a manuscript is discovered entitled The House on the Borderland.

Penned by the enigmatic Recluse, it tells of a revelatory descent into the uncanny.

For the Recluse seems to have discovered another land and in it another House; a jade-green double of his own in a realm rife with beasts and cosmic beings without name, encroaching on the bounds of reality itself. With a new introduction by Ann VanderMeer exploring why Hodgson’s tale is the ‘perfect embodiment of a weird novel’, this edition of the 1908 cult classic still thrums with the visionary energy which influenced countless writers including H.

P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett.
