The House on the Borderland

The House on the Borderland is a supernatural horror novel by William Hope Hodgson. He went beyond the existing ghost story and gothic molds, synthesizing a new cosmic horror that made a huge impact on later writers of weird tales, notably H. P. Lovecraft. The two gentlemen Tonnison and Berreggnog head to a village in Ireland for a week's fishing. There they discover the ruins of a strange house and the diary of the house's former occupant, the words on its torn pages hinting at an evil far beyond anything that has existed in this world before.

    Esperaba una historia diferente. Hay capítulos que se me hiceron muy aburridos debido a las descripciones tan largas y detallada de las visiones del protagonista. Eso sí cabe resaltar la habilidad del autor para describir escenarios apocalípticos del cosmos. Sin embargo, repito, no es la historia que esperaba.
