&quot;The House on the Borderland&quot; is a visionary novel by William Hope Hodgson published in 1908.&nbsp;<br />H.P Lovecraft and other writers of horror and supernatural fiction have cited it as an influence on their writings.<br /><br />A manuscript is found: filled with small, precise writing and smelling of pit-water, it tells the story of an old recluse and his strange home - and its even stranger, jade-green double, seen by the recluse on an otherworldly plain where gigantic gods and monsters roam.<br /><br />Soon his more earthly home is no less terrible than his bizarre vision, as swine-like creatures boil from a cavern beneath the ground and besiege it. But a still greater horror will face the recluse - more inexorable, merciless and awful than any creature that can be fought or killed.
