About the Author
William Hope Hodgson (18771918) was a key figure in British weird fiction, renowned for a huge body of work that consisted of essays, short fiction and novels that often fused together the horror, fantastic fiction and science fiction genres. Hodgson is remembered chiefly for his nautical horror stories and for his occult detective, Carnacki the Ghost-finder. Following his death near Ypres during the First World War, his stories continued to be published posthumously throughout the twentieth century.
