The House on the Borderland
William Hope Hodgson
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A crumbling house. A mysterious manuscript. A journey beyond space and time. The House on the Borderland is a visionary work of early cosmic horror that blends Gothic suspense, science fiction, and philosophical dread into one of the most unique supernatural tales ever written.
Discovered in the ruins of a remote Irish cottage, a journal reveals the bizarre and terrifying experiences of a reclusive man who once lived there. As the narrator describes strange phenomena—cracks in reality, visits from grotesque “swine-things,” and a descent into otherworldly dimensions—the reader is pulled into a dreamlike, apocalyptic vision of time and existence unraveling.
Written in 1908 by William Hope Hodgson, this groundbreaking novel was far ahead of its time, anticipating the cosmic terror of H.P. Lovecraft and the metaphysical horrors of modern science fiction. At its heart, The House on the Borderland is a meditation on isolation, the nature of reality, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown.
This audiobook edition brings to life Hodgson’s eerie, mind-bending narrative with all its mystery and metaphysical wonder. Perfect for fans of classic horror, cosmic dread, and haunting stories that linger long after they end. Step beyond the border—and prepare to face the infinite.
