Synopsis

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.

    Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
     
    Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
     
    Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
     
    After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
     
    In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
     
    Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
     
    After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
     
    For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
     
    Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73
