HorrorBabble’s The House on the Borderland: Unabridged

“The House on the Borderland“ is a supernatural horror novel written by British writer William Hope Hodgson in 1908. The story opens with the discovery of a journal in the ruins of an unusual house in rural Ireland. Penned by a recluse, the journal details the man’s stay at the house, and his supernatural experiences with menacing monsters and dreaded dimensions. H. P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett cited the novel as a major influence on their works, and it is generally considered to be the milestone that signalled the end of the typical gothic fiction of the late 19th century.
