About this book

Two fishermen exploring the wild west of Ireland discover the ruins of a strange circular house and, within it, a battered journal. Its author, a recluse who lived there with his sister, recorded encounters with monstrous swine-creatures that clawed up from a nearby chasm, along with vast visions that swept him across time to the death of the solar system itself. Hodgson blends visceral horror with an eerie sense of scale, prefiguring the cosmic dread later associated with Lovecraft, who admired the book. Published in 1908, it stands among the strangest and most ambitious works of early weird fiction. This free PDF and EPUB edition contains the complete novel.
