Esta nueva edición ilustrada con una nueva traducción pone al día la capacidad de W. H. Hodgson para crear atmósferas que oprimen y aterrorizan a quien se asoma a este gran clásico de la literatura de terror.

De esta obra, comentaba H. P. Lovecraft: «La casa en el confín de la tierra (1908) —quizá la mejor de todas las obras de Hodgson— trata de un caserón solitario y temido de Irlanda, que constituye el centro de espantosas fuerzas del trasmundo y soporta el asedio de híbridas y blasfemas anormalidades que surgen de secretos abismos inferiores. Los vagabundeos del espíritu del narrador durante ilimitados años-luz del espacio cósmico y su asistencia a la destrucción final del sistema solar, son algo casi único en la literatura fantástica».

Work Description

The House on the Borderland is a supernatural horror novel by William Hope Hodgson. He went beyond the existing ghost story and gothic molds, synthesizing a new cosmic horror that made a huge impact on later writers of weird tales, notably H. P. Lovecraft. The two gentlemen Tonnison and Berreggnog head to a village in Ireland for a week's fishing. There they discover the ruins of a strange house and the diary of the house's former occupant, the words on its torn pages hinting at an evil far beyond anything that has existed in this world before.
