William Hope Hodgson

William Hope Hodgson is a famous sci-fi fantasy novelist I think. He was born in 1875 in UK, and died in 1918. His important work is THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND. I have and read this book which is translated into Japanese. It is said he was a precursor of H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft spoke in the highest terms of THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND as a best work of 'cosmic horror' novels.
