Beschreibung

In "Horror Classics - Boxed Set: 30+ Occult & Supernatural Novels and Stories," William Hope Hodgson curates an impressive anthology of chilling tales that traverse the realms of the occult and the supernatural. His distinctive literary style, characterized by an evocative use of atmosphere and a deft handling of psychological horror, immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between reality and the otherworldly blur. This collection showcases Hodgson's mastery of crafting unsettling narratives, drawing from the early 20th-century literary contexts of gothic horror and weird fiction, where existential dread intertwines with human experience in stark landscapes and eerie settings. William Hope Hodgson, often overshadowed in the pantheon of horror writers, was influenced by his own experiences at sea and his fascination with the unknown, which permeate his work. His unique perspective as a war veteran further enriches his narratives, imbuing them with layers of fear derived both from external threats and internal struggles. Hodgson's exploration of these themes illustrates a deeper reflection on humanity's confrontation with its own limitations and the unfathomable forces that may lie beyond comprehension. This anthology is a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the supernatural and scholars alike, offering a compelling exploration of fear, existentialism, and the human psyche. Readers who appreciate the rich legacy of horror literature will find this boxed set not only a collection of stories but an opportunity to engage with the profound questions of life, death, and what may lurk beyond the veil of our understanding.

    Antony Ferrara is a modern-day sorcerer - a murderer who kills with his supernatural powers. And because nobody believes it, he can work his evil schemes in broad daylight, with a simpering smile.  
     
    Originally published as Brood of the Witch-Queen, and largely ignored today, it was considered as one of Rohmer’s best novels when it first appeared in 1918. H.P. Lovecraft compared it to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and it certainly delivers many chilling moments.  
     
    From headless bats to carpets of scarab beetles, from murderous plants to claustrophobic chills in the bowels of a pyramid, Robert Cairn and his Van Helsing-esque father chase Ferrara to Egypt and back to keep him from completing his cunning, nefarious plan.
