William Hope Hodgson, an English author, collected occult detective short stories under the title Carnacki the Ghost-Finder. The Grey Room, a chamber in an old mansion, was the scene of a gruesome murder many years ago. He underestimates the strength of the manifestation, and he spends a wretched, terrifying night within his electrified pentacle. In Ireland, a derelict home exhibits paranormal activity, including what seems to be blood falling from the roof. Carnacki assembles a team of strong neighborhood guys and many dogs for the investigation. According to a Celtic tradition, a court jester was once burned to death while whistling in the fireplace of the chamber. The chamber is then completely destroyed, with all of its components being burnt in a blast furnace inside of a protective pentacle that features an old Celtic inscription. There is a female firstborn for the first time in seven generations, and her fianc e has just had her arm shattered by an unidentified attacker. Carnacki looks into a haunting that has occurred at his mother's home. The tenant informs Carnacki about the house's enigmatic past and rumours of a ghostly woman. Carnacki spends the night at the chapel dressed in armour, his camera at the ready to capture any enigmatic occurrences. He had been hearing strange noises all night.
Zwei M nner, die sich auf einem zweiw chigen Angelurlaub im abgelegenen Westen Irlands befinden, werden von der Entdeckung eines seltsamen Abgrunds berrascht. Auf einem Felsvorsprung ber diesem Abgrund finden sie Ruinen und darin vergraben ein Tagebuch, das sie lesen. Der Roman, der von diesem Tagebuch handelt, ist ein halluzinatorischer Bericht ber den Aufenthalt eines Einsiedlers in dem abgelegenen Haus und seine Erfahrungen mit bernat rlichen Kreaturen und jenseitigen Dimensionen. Das Tagebuch berichtet unter anderem von b sartigen Schweinekreaturen und einer Kreatur, die durch eine Fallt r in den Keller kommt. Dann endet der Bericht. Was war mit dem Haus geschehen und warum befindet sich jetzt dort ein Abgrund? Wissen die Bewohner des entfernten Dorfes etwas dar ber? Als der amerikanische Horrorschriftsteller H. P. Lovecraft 1934 auf Hodgsons Romane stie , lobte er Das Haus im Grenzland und andere Werke von Hodgson ausf hrlich, und Terry Pratchett nannte den Roman "den Urknall in meinem privaten Universum als Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Leser und sp ter als Schriftsteller".
he Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in the Last Redoubt, a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high, which is under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a shield known as the "air clog", powered from a subterranean energy source called the "Earth Current". For thousands of years vast living shapes known as the Watchers have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought that they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human. Hodgson uses the term "Abhuman" to name several different species of intelligent beings evolved from humans who interbred with alien species or adapted to changed environmental conditions, and are seen as decayed or maligned by those living inside the Last Redoubt.
"The House on the Borderland (1908)-perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson's works-tells of a lonely and evilly regarded house in Ireland which forms a focus for hideous otherworld forces and sustains a siege by blasphemous hybrid anomalies from a hidden abyss below. The wanderings of the Narrator's spirit through limitless light-years of cosmic space and Kalpas of eternity, and its witnessing of the solar system's final destruction, constitute something almost unique in standard literature. And everywhere there is manifest the author's power to suggest vague, ambushed horrors in natural scenery." -H. P. LovecraftIncludes an introduction by critic Darrell Schweitzer.

British fantasy author William Hope Hodgson wrote the supernatural horror book The House on the Borderland in 1908. The book is a hallucinogenic description of a recluse's stay in a rural location and his encounters with paranormal beings and ethereal realms. Two men are taken aback when they come upon a peculiar abyss while on a two-week fishing trip in secluded western Ireland. They discover ruins and a journal buried in them on a rock spur above this hole. They read the journal. The journal's author describes himself as an elderly guy who has long resided in a historic building. A few months later, awful man-sized monsters with dead-white skin attack the House after emerging from a nearby Pit. Strong and intelligent, the Swine-Things are unable to enter; after a night and day during which the Recluse kills several of them, they vanish. He waits several days before leaving the House with Pepper to seek the previous gardens outside because he is scared of the dangerous monsters. The story closes with the guy in his study seeing the beast enter the Cellar through the trap door. After recovering from reading the journal, the two guys resume fishing without attempting to return to the terrifying abyss.
