His dark and unsettling short stories and novels were shaped in large part by personal experience (a professional merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgson's tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous and horrific unknown.<br> While his nautical adventure fiction was very popular during his lifetime, the supernatural and cosmic horror he is most remembered for only became well known after his death, mainly due to the efforts of writers like H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, who often praised his work and cited it as an influence on their own. By the latter half of the twentieth century, it was only his weird fiction that remained in print, and his vast catalog of non-supernatural stories was extremely hard to find.<br> Night Shade Books's five-volume series presents all of Hodgson's unique and timeless fiction. Each volume contains one of Hodgson's novels, along with a selection of thematically-linked short fiction, including a number of works reprinted for the first time since their original publication. The final book of the five-volume set, <i>The Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions</i>, collects all of Hodgson's miscellaneous writings, revisions", and altered works for US publication, including <i>The Dream of X</i>, a condensed, Hodgson-edited version of <i>The Night Land</i>. <p/><b>The Complete Fiction of William Hope Hodgson is published by Night Shade Books in the following volumes: </b><br><i>The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" and Other Nautical Adventures</i><br><i>The House on the Borderland and Other Mysterious Places</i><br><i>The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea</i><br><i>The Night Land and Other Romances</i><br><i>The Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William Hope Hodgson</b> was an early twentieth-century English author who produced a large and critically acclaimed body of short fiction and novels spanning several overlapping genres, including horror, fantastic fiction, and science fiction. Hodgson was killed in action in WWI in 1918, at the age of forty.
