Description



William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) English author, disillusioned sailor and bodybuilder. He achieved fame with his weird fiction which fixed horror, science fiction and fantasy to great effect. Despite his writing career being cut short by his death in WWI, his extensive body of work would go on to influence generations of writers.

These five volumes collect all of his published work - each volume starting with one of his novels and then including other stories that fit the general theme. They include an introduction and final notes on the texts and the last volume also presents the "copyright versions" and other alternate releases (plus two counterfeits) making the set about as comprehensive as it is possible to get.

This final volume of works by English author, disillusioned sailor and bodybuilder Hodgson (1877–1918) presents 31 strange and unsettling visions of fantasy, horror and future worlds both terrifyingly close to and infinitely removed from our own, including several condensations and alternate versions of Hodgson's best known works. Despite some labored archaisms and obtrusive dialects, the emotional depth of the poignant Valley of Lost Children and the searing Judge Barclay's Wife exemplifies Hodgson's penetrating insight into the abuses society masks beneath its supposed values and ideals, while the eerily Swiftian Date 1965: Modern Warfare, written in 1908, foresees the horrors of the trenches.
