Where the Silent Ones Watch: Stories of the Borderland, the Night Land, the Sargasso Sea, and more! -- James Chambers, Paperback

William Hope Hodgson's writing life spanned fourteen years, during which he published novels and stories of the adventurous, the fantastic, and the horrific. Best known, perhaps, for his novel The House on the Borderland, Hodgson wrote several other landmark weird works, including The Boats of the "Glen Carrig," The Ghost Pirates, and The Night Land, as well as dozens of short stories. He explored places in the ocean where realities overlapped, described the horrors of a house built beside a gap between dimensions, and transported readers to a desolate future, where abhuman monstrosities prowl. He displayed imaginative visions of staggering scope unlike any others in literature.

In this anthology, twenty-seven authors and poets visit Hodgson's worlds and concepts to dig deep into his mythologies and delve into fresh mysteries in unexpected times, locations, and interpretations. Whether or not you've read Hodgson's works, these visions of Hodgsonian horror will lead you into strange, liminal, and frightening new landscapes of the weird and fantastic.
