	"The Night Land: H.P.Lovecraft on William Hope Hodgson"
		Hodgson's later volume, Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder, consists of several longish short stories published many years before in magazines.
		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.
		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.

	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: William Hope Hodgson
		Hodgson, whose writing career was scarcely over a decade long (he died at age 41), 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.
		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 is in this respect somewhat akin to David Lindsay, in that his strength of vision propels the reader through his work despite leaden and even turgid prose; since such prose is usually the kiss of death to any tale, those writers' successes testify to the degree of that strength.

		I'd never read any of William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki ghost stories, so before I checked out the main story, I decided to skip to the extra feature that this book contains -- an appendix featuring The Whistling Room, an original short story from 1910 starring the early ghostbuster.
		The big feature about this book is that it features Carnacki of William Hope Hodgson fame, although this is the first time I've heard of him.
		Fortunately Hodgson's wild imagination manages to overcome this sizeable hurdle, but I can't help feeling that I might have been more impressed had the foreword not spoiled the story for me in advance.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Tales of the Dying Earth
		Authors and books that influenced the Tales of the Dying Earth include Clark Ashton Smith, William Hope Hodgson (The Night Land, recommended), and Ernest Bramah's Kai Lung stories (highly recommended).
		I'd leave The Dying Earth short stories for last, as reactions to them vary -- Vance's language and descriptive passages are very fine, but his plotting is almost non-existent.
		Ages of rain and wind have rounded the granite, and the sun is feeble and red.

		Cartmel's story doesn't have the same creepy, oppressive atmosphere of the Hodgson work, but I found it good on its own merits.
		For Jamie, Cartmel amusingly just removes him from the story and focuses his attention on Zoe.
