Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Basata su un presunto manoscritto ritrovato dall'autore, La casa sull'abisso narra sotto forma di diario la storia inquietante e ricca di colpi di scena di un uomo, sua sorella e del loro cane Pepper. Ma ci che Hodgson mette in scena in questo racconto l'archetipo della paura umana: pagina dopo pagina, il lettore si trova avvinto da un mistero che lo tiene incatenato a s , in cui il luogo simbolo della sicurezza umana, il focolare domestico, diviene sede di un inferno senza fine.

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's The House on the Borderland is a hallucinatory account of an old recluse and his very strange house in which he experiences attacks by supernatural swine-beasts, travels to otherworldly dimensions, and bears witness to the destruction of the solar system.
