A splash of something huge resounds through the sea-fog. In the stillness of a dark room, some unspeakable evil is making its approach. This new selection offers the most chilling and unsettling of Hodgson's short fiction, from encounters with abominations at sea to fireside tales of otherworldly forces from his inventive `occult detective' character Carnacki, the ghost finder. A master of conjuring atmosphere, when the horror inevitably arrives it is delivered with breathtaking pace and the author's unique evocation of overwhelming panic.
William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) is renowned as a master of nautical mystery and horror stories, which possess a unique authenticity due to Hodgson's youth spent at sea and in the navy. He is also celebrated as the creator of the memorable occult detective character, Carnacki. Hodgson wrote many classic ghost and sea stories before his death near Ypres during the First World War.
