Autorenporträt
William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) stands as a significant figure in early 20th-century literature, especially known for his contributions to the horror and science fiction genres. Born in Blackmore End, Essex, England, Hodgson ran away to sea at the age of thirteen, an experience that would deeply influence his literary output. His time at sea imbued him with a sense of the vast, often malevolent, power of the ocean, a theme that permeates much of his work. After his sea faring years, he turned his hand to writing, producing works that often blend horror, fantastical elements, and maritime adventure. Hodgson's novel 'The Boats of the Glen Carrig' (1907) typifies his unique melding of genres. The story, set in the 18th century, follows the survivors of a shipwreck as they encounter otherworldly horrors in a seemingly uninhabited land. It is one of Hodgson's earlier works and showcases his talent for creating an atmosphere of creeping dread and the eerily uncanny. His literary style is marked by detailed descriptions, a pervasive atmosphere of doom, and an inventive imagination. Hodgson's influence is seen in the works of later writers, such as H.P. Lovecraft, who admired his ability to evoke cosmic horror. While William Hope Hodgson's life was tragically cut short by his death in World War I, his work continues to be a touchstone for aficionados of the horror and supernatural fiction tradition.
