Sinopsis

William Hope Hodgsoná(1877-1918) was an English author best known foráThe Night Landá(1912) and, this, his second novel,áThe House on the Borderland. Noted by H. P. Lovecraft as &ldquo,a classic of the first water,&rdquo, it is considered a literary milestone that signaled a radical departure from the typical Gothic fiction of the late 19th century, ushering in a newer more realistic and scientific cosmic horror that left a marked impression on those who would become the great writers of weird tales of the mid-twentieth century.The story within the story 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 &mdash, &ldquo,it is galactic adventure, prophetic fantasy, macabre romance, and drugless trip, and brilliantly unites its many disturbing elements, easily equalling, if not surpassing, all predecessors and contemporaries.&rdquo,
