	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: William Hope Hodgson
		William Hope Hodgson's books revolve about the eerie and the supernatural (or "the occult"); many of them also have the sea--of which he had much personal experience--as a focal point.
		Hodgson, whose writing career was regrettably brief--he died at age 41 in World War I--produced several books, many of them either collections of short stories or novels of the sort that are really separate tales strung together as episodes by a narrative device.
		Hodgson is in this respect somewhat akin to David Lindsay, in that even leaden, turgid prose cannot muffle the power and intensity of the visions being communicated: each is so possessed by his visions that even in inept language, he convinces us of them as well.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" and Other Nautical Adventures
		The House on the Borderland - 1, 2
		Hodgson's The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" while a strong and very creepy novel, hearkens somewhat to the stilted prose of The Night Land, and doesn't have the directness and journalistic succinctness which made his The Ghost Pirates, in my opinion, a better novel.
		Indeed in a number of Hodgson's works the horrors are met by male-female couples, often meeting as a result of the circumstances or in the first stages of discovering their love for each other.

	William Hope Hodgson
		illiam Hope Hodgson was born on November 15, 1877 in Blackmore End, Essex, England, one of twelve children.
		On the flip side, noting Hodgson's faults, he is often accused of marring his work with sentimentality and with appeals to human love, however immaturely conceived.
		Hodgson himself "turned to another" in 1913, when at age thirty-six he married an editor with the Harmsworth magazine firm.

	Weird Menace Pulps and Supernatural Detection
		Hodgson's tales, like his predecessors, fall into the impossible crime approach that was sweeping the mystery world during his era.
		It is not clear whether the weird menace writers were directly influenced by Hodgson and his "supernatural mystery" contemporaries, or whether they simply hit upon the same sort of explanation for the apparent supernatural events in their stories.
		The real merit of Hodgson's tales is not the fairly perfunctory solutions Hodgson devised for his "supernatural" events, however, but rather the visionary force with which Hodgson conceived and described the events of his tales.

		Six tales of Carnacki the Ghost Finder, tales of the outre, the unexpected, and the unexplained from a reknowned master of the macabre, William Hope Hodgeson.
		What's even better is that these stories were written by William Hope Hodgson (much admired by H. Lovecraft) in the early part of the 20th century (around 1910), so it still has that incredible Victorian feeling of horror, shrouded in antiquity and mystery, with a fantastic and classically spooky atmosphere.

	The Ghost Pirates - William Hope Hodgson
		William Hope Hodgson here gives us a finely crafted story of a haunted ship, with slow and painful discoveries while isolated on the ocean.
		Hodgson's pirates aren't exactly ghosts, and the ship isn't exactly haunted, and the narrator's rationale — well, you should read that in context.
		Hodgson was an ex-seaman himself, and he also may have gotten it from the same place I did, Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

	"The Night Land: H.P.Lovecraft on William Hope Hodgson"
		Hodgson is perhaps second only to Algernon Blackwood in his serious treatment of unreality.
		Hodgson's works -- tells of a lonely and evilly regarded house in Ireland which forms a focus for hideous otherworld forces and sustains a siege by blasphemous hybrid anomalies from a hidden abyss below.
		Hodgson as rounding out a trilogy with the two previously mentioned works, is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #32: William Hope Hodgson
		That's why Hodgson and other writers had the awkward-to-us habit of using an opening chapter to ground the story in the real world, via a dream or a manuscript or some similar means.
		Hodgson is more interested in creating an atmosphere of mystery and wonder and terror, and maintaining it, than in settling for climax and anticlimax.
		William Hope Hodgson wrote fourteen or fifteen books, of which these are the best known.

		A riveting novel of fear and adventure, The Ghost Pirates completes Hodgson's acclaimed theme trilogy that began with The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig' and continued through The House on the Borderland.
		Hodgson writes with a command of the language and has a seemingly thorough understanding of what it takes to raise the reader's gooseflesh.
		Author William Hope Hodgson was a merchant marine himself, between the ages of 14-22, at the turn of the last century, and his characters and dialogue are fully authentic as a result - he makes the reader feel the salt spray, and the roughness of the rigging as sails are secured.

		Hodgson created an enduring story as The Borderlands, and his influence can be felt in authors Stephen King, Richard Matheson, Michael Lovell, Jr.

	In Appreciation of William Hope Hodgson by Clark Ashton Smith
		Among those fiction writers who have elected to deal with the shadowlands and borderlands of human existence, William Hope Hodgson surely merits a place with the very few that inform their treatment of such themes with a sense of authenticity.
		Hideous phantoms and unknown monsters from the nightward gulf are adumbrated in all their terror, with no dispelling of their native mystery; and surely such things could be described only by a seer who has dwelt overlong on the perilous verges and has peered too deeply into the regions veiled by invisibility from normal sight.
		It is to be hoped that work of such unusual power will eventually win the attention and fame to which it is entitled.

		The reason it does so is because Hodgson is something of a deranged mystic who ignores the rationlist strictures so many other writers of the day obeyed like slaves.
		It's a pity that Hodgson was killed in WWI, if he had lived to edit it, and clean up the style to make it more convincingly 17th century, the book would have benefited tremendously.
		One way that Hodgson does this is to adopt an almost journal-like structure for the story, each meal time in every day is covered, all along the quest.
