Book excerpt: The novels and short stories of William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918), though almost entirely unknown during his lifetime, have become some of the most influential early works in fields of literature as diverse as fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Hodgson's earliest short fiction was inspired and deeply informed by his experiences at sea while a young man; his ambivalent attitude toward the ocean-mingled reverence, awe, fear, and hatred of it-is perhaps nowhere so starkly presented as in his "Sargasso Sea" stories, a series of fictions set in the shared world of the mythical Sargasso, a place of ancient derelicts, monstrous creatures, and hapless human castaways. Mesembria Press is proud to present this new collection of William Hope Hodgson's Sargasso Sea stories, which includes a complete set of notes designed to guide the interested reader through the obscure nautical terminology and stylistic nuances of Hodgson's writing. Includes: - From the Tideless Sea, Part I - From the Tideless Sea, Part II - The Mystery of the Derelict - The Thing in the Weeds - The Finding of the Graiken - The Call in the Dawn plus - Explanatory and critical notes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as four classic fantasy novels and a series of "occult detective” stories, William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) produced a large number of sea-faring tales, many of them steeped in elements of supernatural terror. Hodgson's vividly drawn descriptions of revulsive oceanic entities often pre-echo Lovecraft in their evocation of squamous, deep-sea terror, while the latter also acknowledged Hodgson's masterful evocations of elemental disquiet and disorder. NIGHT OCEANS collects all of Hodgson's acclaimed "Sargasso Sea” tales - From The Tideless Sea, The Mystery Of The Derelict, The Thing In The Weeds, The Finding Of The Graiken, and The Voice In The Dawn (famously filmed in 1963 by Japanese director Ishirô Honda, under the title Matango) - reproduced in chronological order according to year of publication; also included is a complementary bonus text, The Weed Men, taken from Hodgson's sea-faring novel The Boats Of Glen Carrig.

HORRORSe ^FROMe ^HAUNTEDe ^SEAS not only collects all of Hodgson's acclaimed "Sargasso Sea" tales -- From The Tideless Sea, The Mystery Of The Derelict, The Thing In The Weeds, The Finding Of The Graiken, and The Voice In The Dawn -- but also presents a further 15 stories and episodes of nautical mystery and horror, including A Tropical Horror, The Voice In The Night, Out Of The Storm, The Stone Ship, Demons Of The Sea, The Albatross, and numerous others. The stories are reproduced in chronological order according to year of publication, making this perhaps the definitive edition of William Hope Hodgson's weird oceanic tales. The Voice In The Night was famously filmed in 1963 by Japanese director Ishira ́ Honda, under the title Matango (aka Attack Of The Mushroom People).

This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These early works by various authors were originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing them with a brand new introduction as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'Cryptofiction - Volume III.' contains a collection of short stories that include 'The She-Wolf' by H. H. Munro, 'The Horror of the Heights' by Arthur Conan Doyle, 'After Dark in the Playing Fields' by M. R. James, and many other classic tales of strange creatures. The genre of cryptofiction has grown up in the shadow of its older brothers, science fiction and fantasy, and specialises in the concept of mysterious creatures such as sea monsters, wolf-men, and lost pre-historic creatures. Cryptofiction takes its name from another, non-literary practice: cryptozoology. This is generally regarded as a pseudoscience by mainstream scientists, relying as it does upon anecdotal, often unverifiable evidence. However, it still boasts many enthusiasts, and continues to exert considerable artistic allure. Cryptofiction is here to stay, and the stories in this collection map the development of a genre which is as strange as it is fascinating. The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. From its roots in cryptozoology, this genre features bizarre, fantastical, and often terrifying tales of mythical and legendary creatures. Whether it be giant spiders, werewolves, lake monsters, or dinosaurs, the Cryptofiction Classics series offers a fantastic introduction to the world of weird creatures in fiction.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the leading names in classic weird fiction, William Hope Hodgson remains an influential and powerful storyteller, remembered chiefly for his nautical horror stories and for his occult detective, Carnacki the Ghost-finder. Hodgson's career - cut off prematurely in World War One - was extensive and elaborate, and this book contains the cream of the crop: the Sargasso Sea Mythos, a broad selection of his best maritime horror stories, printings of his lesser known strange tales (including The Baumoff Explosive and The Goddess of Death), five of the most striking Carnacki cases, and excerpts from two of his elaborate supernatural novels. Illustrated and annotated, these stories include episodes of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery: floating stone ships, derelicts teeming with man-eating rats, ghost pirates, mutant weed men, carnivorous trees, parasitic fungi, were-sharks (you read that right), a ship with a heartbeat, a cursed room that whistles in the night, a castaway who refuses to let his hideous face be seen, freakish mutations, deadly ghost ships, bloodthirsty octopi, demonic hogs, and more. Hodgson's fiction reveals a level of anguished vulnerability that blends the cynical realism with fantastic romanticism, creating a borderland - a liminal doorway - that brings the anxieties of the every-day into contact with the fantasias of the nightmarish. The landscapes of his fiction - the weed-choked Sargasso Sea, the steaming South Pacific, Irish manor houses, derelict ghost ships - act as borderlands whereby these uncomfortable thoughts and existential pangs can enter into our world - to haunt and infect it. The illustrated, annotated stories included in this unique anthology - stories of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery - are among Hodgson's best and will not fail to disturb, amuse, and inhabit your imagination.TALES INCLUDED in this ANNOTATED EDITION:The Grey Seas are Dreaming of My Death | The "Shamraken" Homeward-Bounder | Out of the Storm | From the Tideless Sea | Further News from the "Homebird" | The Thing in the Weeds | The Finding of the "Graiken" | A Tropical Horror | The Mystery of the Derelict | The Derelict | The Stone Ship | Demons of the Sea | The Haunted "Pampero" | Excerpts: The Boats of the Glenn Carrig | Excerpts: The Ghost Pirates | The Voice in the Night | The Baumoff Explosive | The Goddess of Death | The Valley of Lost Children | The Terror of the Water Tank | The Gateway of the Monster | The Horse of the Invisible | The Searcher of the End House | The Whistling Room | The Hog
