The House on the Borderland

"The House on the Borderland (1908)-perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson's works-tells of a lonely and evilly regarded house in Ireland which forms a focus for hideous otherworld forces and sustains a siege by blasphemous hybrid anomalies from a hidden abyss below. The wanderings of the Narrator's spirit through limitless light-years of cosmic space and Kalpas of eternity, and its witnessing of the solar system's final destruction, constitute something almost unique in standard literature. And everywhere there is manifest the author's power to suggest vague, ambushed horrors in natural scenery." -H.P. Lovecraft Includes an introduction by critic Darrell Schweitzer.
