Yet, without any conscious effort on my part, I found myself gradually emerging from the semi-darkness, moving sluggishly towards the House. Amidst the deafening roar of cascading water, in a chasm where a house once stood in a remote corner of Ireland, a manuscript was unearthed, titled The House on the Borderland. Authored by the enigmatic Recluse, it chronicles a profound descent into the enigmatic realm. The Recluse, it seems, has ventured into another land, discovering a jade-green double of his own in a realm teeming with unnamable beasts and cosmic entities that encroach upon the very boundaries of reality itself. This edition of the 1908 cult classic, featuring a new introduction by Ann VanderMeer, explores why Hodgsons tale remains the quintessential embodiment of a weird novel. It still vibrates with the visionary energy that inspired countless writers, including H. P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 x 130 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780712354646\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Hope Hodgson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44663630397690,"sku":"9780712354646","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697796505206_book.jpg?v=1697873917","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-house-on-the-borderland-9780712354646","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
