Sinopsis

In "The Derelict," William Hope Hodgson masterfully weaves a tale steeped in psychological horror and cosmic dread, encapsulating the essence of early 20th-century weird fiction. Set against the backdrop of a ghostly ship adrift in the vastness of the ocean, the narrative intricately explores themes of isolation, existential dread, and the incomprehensible nature of the universe. Hodgson's poetic, vivid prose invites readers to confront the remnants of lost humanity, deftly intertwining descriptive language with a stark portrayal of the maritime landscape, which serves as both setting and character within the story. William Hope Hodgson, a British author known for his contributions to speculative fiction, was deeply influenced by his experiences at sea and his fascination with the unknown. Drawing from his own maritime adventures and a preoccupation with the mysteries lurking beyond human comprehension, Hodgson's works often reflect his belief in the insignificance of humanity in the face of the vast cosmos. This perspective anchors the haunting atmosphere of "The Derelict," showcasing Hodgson's unique ability to blend psychological depth with supernatural horror. For those who appreciate the convergence of horror and philosophical inquiry, "The Derelict" is a compelling read that beckons with its eerie narrative and haunting prose. It invites readers to ponder the deeper existential questions while immersed in a chilling tale that resonates with the echoes of isolation and dread. Hodgson's work remains essential for aficionados of early horror literature, offering a timeless exploration of humanity's place in the universe.

    Can vengeance against an ancient enemy wash away her centuries of shame? 
    They come from the smoky depths of Hell’s Pit. Remnants of the shattered Pious Legion, these hateful castoffs of Earth’s Roman Empire, seek to conquer. Armed with maddening gas, Maximinus Thrax’s airships swarm the skies like vengeful locusts, reducing entire populations to ash. 
    For Boudica, the forgotten Queen of the Iceni, it’s a familiar fate. Having failed against Nero on Earth, her civilization was wiped from history due to her backfired efforts of liberation. 
    As Thrax’s assault eliminates the peaceful enclaves of New Dis, what can the failed warrior queen do to protect her city, the innocent peoples within, and her beloved friends? Will Boudica shake off her anonymous refuge and crushing shame to face the Romans once more, or collapse into the dust of history once more?
