Autorenporträt
William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was a distinguished British author, recognized for his contributions to the horror and fantastic fiction genres. Born in Essex, England, Hodgson ran away from his apprenticeship and went to sea, an experience that deeply influenced his literary work. His maritime adventures are vividly reflected in novels such as 'The Ghost Pirates', a horror classic in which the eerie and supernatural are masterfully woven into the narrative of a doomed ship, engendering a cosmic fear of the unknown. Hodgson's writing is marked by his innovative use of sea settings and his adeptness at creating atmospheres of dread and suspense. His oeuvre also includes 'The Boats of the "Glen Carrig"', 'The House on the Borderland', and 'The Night Land', works that further exemplify his unique blend of science fiction and horror. Although his life was cut short in World War I, Hodgson's legacy endures. Literary academics often cite his ability to infuse the sea voyage—a traditional staple of adventure stories—with a deeply unsettling otherworldliness as a testament to his genius. Hodgson's work has influenced a plethora of writers, earning him a revered position within the annals of speculative fiction.
