Sinopse

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.

    A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN. 
     
     
     
    When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands. 
     
     
     
    It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death. 
     
     
     
    Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind. 
     
     
     
    But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers. 
     
     
     
    And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear. 
     
     
     
    A monster she once called Daddy.
