Book: The House on the Borderland

DONALD A. WOLLHEIM ONCE WROTE: THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a classic of science fiction that no one who enjoys great imaginative writing should miss. It is a novel not quite like any other ever written—the story of an adventure in time and space that literally spans all of creation, proceeds to witness the end of the Earth and its sun, yet returns to the present to face more mysteries. William Hope Hodgson, who died in the trenches during the First World War, filled, during his brief and brilliant career, the gap between the period of H. G. Wells and the post-war period that introduced the full flowering of modern science fiction. To read this book, which H. P. Lovecraft praised as the greatest of Hodgson’s works, is a truly remarkable and breath-taking experience
