Description

The House on the Borderland is a supernatural horror novel by British fantasist William Hope Hodgson.In 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, head into Ireland to spend a week fishing in the village of Kraighten. On the third day of their trip they travel (down stream of the river) in the opposite direction to the one that they had been travelling insofar, and stumble upon a large chasm with what appears to be the ruins of a very strangely shaped house on the edge of it of it. As they explore the stone ruins of the house, they discover a mouldering journal that describes the last days of the man who owned this house before it was destroyed. They go back upstream to their fishing camp and begin to read the strange tale of the man (his name is never revealed).The manuscript begins with a discussion of how the man came to own the house and how he lives his daily life with his sister and his faithful dog Pepper. He confides that he is starting the diary as it will contain a record of all the strange experiences and horrors that had recently happened in and around the house.This is a classic novel that worked to slowly bridge the gap between the British fantastic and supernatural authors of the later 19th century and modern horror fiction.
