William Hope Hodgson 2 hr 54 min read

A manuscript found in the ruins of a lonely Irish house records its recluse's visions: a besieging horde of swine-things from the pit, and a solitary voyage across the vast, dying aeons of the cosmos.

William Hope Hodgson's 1908 novel is a landmark masterpiece of cosmic horror. Visionary, dread-soaked, unforgettable. Read it for one of the greatest weird novels ever written, an old house on the borderland of reality, monstrous besiegers, and a mind flung across the death of the solar system, a direct forerunner of Lovecraft.
