Available for the first time in trade paperback, the third of five volumes collecting the complete fiction of William Hope Hodgson, an influential early twentiethcentury author of science fiction, horror, and the fantastic.William Hope Hodgson was, like his contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, one of the most important, prolific, and influential fantasists of the early twentieth century. His dark and unsettling short stories and novels were shaped in large part by personal experience (a professional merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgsons tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous and horrific unknown.While his nautical adventure fiction was very popular during his lifetime, the supernatural and cosmic horror he is most remembered for only became well known after his death, mainly due to the efforts of writers like H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, who often praised his work and cited it as an influence on their own. By the latter half of the twentieth century, it was only his weird fiction that remained in print, and his vast catalog of nonsupernatural stories was extremely hard to find.Night Shade Bookss fivevolume series presents all of Hodgsons unique and timeless fiction. Each volume contains one of Hodgson's novels, along with a selection of thematicallylinked short fiction, including a number of works reprinted for the first time since their original publication. The third book of the fivevolume set, The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea, collects more of Hodgsons nautical fiction, including his 1909 novel The Ghost Pirates.The Complete Fiction of William Hope Hodgson is published by Night Shade Books in the following volumes:The Boats of the Glen Carrig and Other Nautical AdventuresThe House on the Borderland and Other Mysterious PlacesThe Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the SeaThe Night Land and Other RomancesThe Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions
