Beschreibung

In the comprehensive anthology "WILLIAM HOPE HODGSON Ultimate Collection: Horror Classics, Occult & Supernatural Tales and Poems," readers are invited to explore the haunting and atmospheric world crafted by Hodgson, a pioneering figure in supernatural fiction. This collection delves into the macabre and the mysterious, featuring tales that blend horror with elements of the occult and philosophical musings on the nature of reality. Hodgson's vivid prose and experimental literary style, characterized by a rich use of imagery and an unsettling tone, reflect the early twentieth-century literary movement that sought to push the boundaries of the genre, influencing contemporaries like H.P. Lovecraft and later writers of weird fiction. William Hope Hodgson, a British author and poet, was profoundly impacted by his tumultuous experiences at sea and the psychological toll of World War I. These experiences informed his unique perspective on existence, fear, and the unknown, themes that permeate his work. Hodgson's fascination with the cosmic horror and the supernatural, amid the existential struggles of humanity, offers readers a glimpse into the mind of an author striving to reconcile reality with the unfathomable mysteries of life. This collection is highly recommended for lovers of gothic literature and horror enthusiasts alike. Hodgson'Äôs work, though less widely known than some of his contemporaries, is essential reading for those who seek to understand the roots of modern horror fiction. Dive into this rich tapestry of terror and the supernatural, where every tale promises to captivate and chill.

    Death Has a Brand New Appetite... 
    When overweight treadmill salesman Reginald Baskin finally meets a co-worker who doesn't make fun of him, it's his own bad luck that tech guy Maurice turns out to be a two thousand-year-old vampire. 
    And when Maurice turns Reginald to save his life, it's just Reginald's further bad luck that he wakes to discover he's become the slowest, weakest, most out-of-shape vampire ever created … doomed to "heal" to his corpulent self for all of eternity. 
    But as Reginald struggles with the downsides of being a fat vampire (too slow to catch people to feed on, mocked by those he tries to glamour, assaulted by his intended prey and left for undead), he discovers rare powers in himself that few vampires have … and just in time, because the Vampire Council wants him destroyed as an inferior representative of their race.

    The Weird Of Avoosl Wuthoqquon - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz 
    Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". 
    Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. 
    Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."
