I had been staying just within the shadow of the exit of the great rift. Now,without volition on my part,I drifted out of the semi-darkness and began to move slowly-toward the House.'Amidst the din of roaring water,in a chasm where a house once stood in an isolated corner of Ireland,a manuscript is discovered entitled The House on the Borderland. Penned by the enigmatic Recluse,it tells of a revelatory descent into the uncanny. For the Recluse seems to have discovered another land and in it another House; a jade-green double of his own in a realm rife with beasts and cosmic beings without name,encroaching on the bounds of reality itself.With a new introduction by Ann VanderMeer exploring why Hodgson's tale is the'perfect embodiment of a weird novel',this edition of the 1908 cult classic still thrums with the visionary energy which influenced countless writers including H. P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett.
