Beschreibung

In "HORROR CLASSICS - Boxed Set: 30+ Occult & Supernatural Novels and Stories," William Hope Hodgson masterfully compiles a rich anthology of horror literature that encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century supernatural fiction. The collection showcases Hodgson's signature blend of cosmic horror and psychological terror, employing a prose style that is both immersive and atmospheric. Drawing upon themes of existential dread and the incomprehensible forces of the universe, this boxed set serves as a testament to Hodgson's profound impact on the genre, inviting modern readers to explore the archaic yet timeless elements of the uncanny. William Hope Hodgson, an early pioneer of horror fiction, was deeply influenced by his maritime experiences and encounters with the unknown, which often permeated his writing. His fascination with the supernatural is underscored by personal tragedies, including the loss of loved ones, as well as his service in World War I, which fostered a profound awareness of human fragility. Hodgson's innovative approach to horror laid the groundwork for future authors, making his work essential for any fan of the genre. This boxed set is a must-read for aficionados of horror and the supernatural, as it not only celebrates Hodgson's literary legacy but also immerses readers in a haunting exploration of fear and the uncanny. Whether you are revisiting Hodgson's classics or discovering them for the first time, this anthology promises to captivate and terrify, delivering a chilling journey into the depths of both the human psyche and the otherworldly.

    "The Terrible Old Man" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written on January 28, 1920, and first published in the Tryout, an amateur press publication, in July 1921. It's notable as the first story to make use of Lovecraft's imaginary New England setting, introducing the fictional town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man is a strange elderly man "so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name". He lives alone in an ancient house on Water Street in the town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man reappears in the story "The Strange High House in the Mist" in a more benevolent role.
