Henry S. Whitehead was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on March 5, 1882, and graduated from Harvard University in 1904 (in the same class as Franklin D. Roosevelt).[3] As a young man he led an active and worldly life in the first decade of the 20th century, playing football at Harvard University, editing a Reform democratic newspaper in Port Chester, New York, and serving as commissioner of athletics for the AAU.He later attended Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Connecticut, and in 1912 he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church. During 1912-1913 he worked as a clergyman in Torrington, Connecticut. From 1913 to 1917 he served as rector in Christ's Church, Middletown, Connecticut.[2] From 1918 to 1919 he was Pastor of the Children, Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City.[2]He served as Archdeacon of the Virgin Islands from 1921 to 1929.[1] While there, living on the island of St. Croix, Whitehead gathered the material he was to use in his tales of the supernatural.[2] A correspondent and friend of H. P. Lovecraft, Whitehead published stories from 1924 onward in Adventure, Black Mask, Strange Tales,[3] and especially Weird Tales. In his introduction to the collection Jumbee, R. H. Barlow would later describe Whitehead as a member of "the serious Weird Tales school".[3] Many of Whitehead's stories are set on the Virgin Islands and draw on the history and folklore of the region. Several of these stories are narrated by Gerald Canevin, a New Englander living on the islands and a fictional stand-in for Whitehead.[2] Whitehead's supernatural fiction was partially modelled on the work of Edward Lucas White and William Hope Hodgson.[3] Whitehead's "The Great Circle" (1932) is a lost-race tale with sword and sorcery elements.[3]In later life, Whitehead lived in Dunedin, Florida, as rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd and a leader of a boys' group there. H. P. Lovecraft was a particular friend as well as a correspondent of Whitehead's, visiting him at his Dunedin home for several weeks in 1931. Lovecraft recorded in his letters that he entertained the boys with readings of his stories such as "The Cats of Ulthar". Lovecraft said of Whitehead: "He has nothing of the musty cleric about him; but dresses in sports clothes, swears like a he-man on occasion, and is an utter stranger to bigotry or priggishness of any sort."Whitehead suffered from a long-term gastric problem, but an account of his death by his assistant suggests he died from a fall or a stroke or both.[1] He died late in 1932, but few of his readers learned about this until an announcement and brief profile, by H. P. Lovecraft, appeared in the March 1933 Weird Tales, issued in Feb 1933. Whitehead was greatly mourned and missed by lovers of weird fiction at his death.[4]R. H. Barlow collected many of Whitehead's letters, planning to publish a volume of them; but this never appeared, although Barlow did contribute the introduction to Whitehead's Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales (1944).

This week Scotty talks to Bram Stoker Award-winning author/editor James Chambers about his upcoming anthology "Where the Silent Ones Watch" (Oct 6, Hippocampus Press). Featuring genre luminaries like John Langan, Nancy Holder, Lee Murray, Michael Cisco, and many more, this anthology is inspired by the work of famed weird fiction writer William Hope Hodgson — author of the classic novels "The Boats of the Glen Carrig" (1907), "The House on the Borderland" (1908), and "The Night Land" (1912), creator of the great ghost finder Thomas Carnacki, and envisioner of the epic (and terrifying) Sargasso Sea. Scotty and James talk about Hodgson's work, singular creative vision, and short life (which ended tragically during World War I). They dive deep into the new anthology, discussing many of the stories and poems and talking about James' process in curating the book. They also spend a bit of time on James' earlier anthology "Under Twin Suns: Alternate Histories of the Yellow Sign" (2021, Hippocampus Press), a similar project inspired by the work of Robert W. Chambers.

"A Tropical Horror" is a short story by William Hope Hodgson. First published in The Grand Magazine in its June 1905 edition, the tale tells of a ship attacked by a monstrous sea creature.
Tonight, we'll visit an old classic that ISN'T Edgar Allen Poe! Ha ha! Let me set the scene—the deck of a schooner out on the ocean. It's full dark outside, and the water is still. No sign of the sky is visible through a thick mist which hangs just above the ship. As you gaze out into the impenetrable darkness, you hear a voice pierce through the night, but see no one. Who could be out at this hour, and why aren't they using any light? What manner of thing is this voice in the night? This story is called “The Voice in the Night”, and was written by William Hope Hodgson. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blood-bound-books2/support
In "The Voice in the Night" a ship's crew encounters a mysterious, disembodied voice pleading for aid from the darkness of the sea. The tale unfolds as the voice recounts a harrowing story of shipwreck, survival, and a frightful transformation. Mr Spike's Bedtime Stories theme and incidental music composed by Graham Walmsley.

We've got another short episode this week. Scotty brings you the tale of an Edwardian-era Clash of the Titans, when the burgeoning legend of escape artist and illusionist Harry Houdini was very nearly undone by an eager young gym owner--and future horror writer--named William Hope Hodgson. Plus Scotty and Amelia UNAPOLOGETICALLY discuss the recent casting announcement for season three of The Traitors.
This story helped propel 19th Century gothic fiction in the direction of “cosmic” horror. In fact, H.P. Lovecraft lists it as among his greatest influences. It begins simply enough: with two friends stumbling upon a ruined and curious house while vacationing in a remote village. After reading the tattered journal of the old recluse who lived there, they are shocked to discover an interdimensional, reality-bending nightmare full of nearly-indescribable horrors that range from demons, to bestial (somewhat Lovecraftian) monsters, and devastating parasitic fungal diseases.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

La voz en la noche (The Voice in the Night) es un relato de terror del escritor inglés William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918), publicado en la edición de noviembre de 1907 de la revista Blue Book Magazine. Posteriormente sería editado en la antología de 1914: Hombres de aguas profundas (Men of the Deep Waters). La voz en la noche, probablemente uno de los mejores cuentos de terror de W.H. Hodgson, relata un extraño episodio marítimo: un pequeño bote, oculto en la oscuridad de la noche, se aproxima a una goleta en el Pacífico Norte. A una distancia que solo les permite observar una silueta incierta, irreconocible, grotesca, la tripulación de la goleta es testigo de una voz inhumana que emerge del bote para narrar una historia perturbadora. Podemos pensar que la extraña criatura de La voz en la noche, especie de fungosidad semi-humana, tiene su antecedente en Los botes del Glen Carrig (The Boats of the Glen Carrig), también de W.H. Hodgson, donde se anticipan las deidades tentaculares y oceánicas de H.P. Lovecraft, como Cthulhu y Dagón.

Mr Jim reads a massively influential chiller, an otherworldly tale of maritime terror - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hypnogoria/message
"The Story of the Spaniards, Hammersmith," published in 1898, marked the debut of Flaxman Low, the pioneering psychic detective of fiction. This story, written by the joint authors Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard and his mother, Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard, set the stage for a series of supernatural investigations that captivated readers of the late Victorian era. Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard, born on November 17, 1876, was a multifaceted individual renowned for his contributions to literature, exploration, military service, and sports. Alongside his mother, Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard, he co-authored numerous stories and novels, including the Flaxman Low series. Hesketh-Prichard's remarkable career spanned from his pioneering efforts in improving marksmanship during World War I to his achievements as a cricketer, explorer, and author. The late Victorian era witnessed a flourishing of detective fiction, characterized by iconic figures such as Sherlock Holmes and Flaxman Low. While Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, epitomized the rational and deductive approach to crime-solving, Flaxman Low offered a unique twist with his psychic abilities, delving into the realm of the supernatural. Key dates in this period include the publication of the first Sherlock Holmes story, "A Study in Scarlet," in 1887 and the serialization of the Flaxman Low stories in Pearson's Magazine from 1898 to 1899. During the late Victorian era, alongside the rise of traditional detective fiction, there emerged a fascinating subgenre known as "occult detective" fiction. This genre featured protagonists who investigated mysteries involving supernatural or paranormal elements. One notable figure in this tradition is Carnacki, created by author William Hope Hodgson. Carnacki, the "ghost-finder," employed a combination of scientific inquiry and occult knowledge to solve cases involving ghosts, demons, and other supernatural entities. Hodgson's stories, such as "The Gateway of the Monster" and "The House Among the Laurels," showcased Carnacki's encounters with the supernatural, captivating readers with their blend of mystery and the occult. Alongside Carnacki, other authors contributed to the occult detective genre, crafting characters and stories that explored the eerie and mysterious realms beyond the conventional boundaries of detective fiction..

English author William Hope Hodgson was born in 1877 in the hamlet of Blackmore End in Essex, the son of the Reverend Samuel Hodgson, a priest, and Lissie Sarah Brown. Hodgson was a runaway at the age of 13 in an attempt to be a sailor. He was returned to his family but managed to convince his father to allow him to be apprenticed as a cabin boy. In 1902, Hodgson appeared on stage with handcuffs and other restraining devices supplied by the Blackburn police department and applied the restraints to Harry Houdini, who had previously escaped from the Blackburn jail. Hodgson was interested in physical fitness and wrote several articles on the subject but found it difficult to make a living. Inspired by authors Edgar Allan Poe, H. G. Wells, and Jules Verne, Hodgson turned his attention to fiction. Hodgson's first short story was "The Goddess of Death" in 1904. Today's story was published three years later.From the November 1907 issue of The Blue Book Magazine turn to page 136 for The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson… Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we go back to 1907, A sordid tale of jealousy and murder.

At one time in their career or another most authors used pen names and Silverberg was no exception.In fact, he used more than 40 pen names that we know of. Today's story was written by Silverberg as Alex Merriman. From Monster Parade Magazine in March of 1959, the first story in the issue can be found on page 8. It looked human–except it was inside out!

William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land is without a doubt one of the weirdest entries in the annals of weird fiction. Set in the earth's distant future, after the sun has gone out and the planet has been cleaved in two by an unspecified disaster, a telepathic scientist dons his armour and weapons to brave the monster-haunted yet strangely monotonous wastes that engirdle the massive pyramid in which the last humans took refuge, hundreds of thousands of years earlier. If Samuel Beckett tripped hard on ayahuasca, he might have come up with something like Hodgson's genre-defying novel, which reads more like a report to committee of 17th-century heretics than a piece of speculative fiction from the early twentieth century. MIT Press recently released a (blessedly) abridged edition of The Night Land as part of their Radium Series. Journalist, scholar, and lecturer Erik Davis, who penned a brilliant foreword for the new edition, was kind enough to join Phil and JF to discuss this underrated masterpiece.

What gruesome mystery surrounds the two-hundred-year-old derelict? William Hope Hodgson, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening. We are proudly supported by our listeners. We couldn't do this without you. Your monthly donation helps in so many ways, and it also gives you access to more classic titles. Go to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com and become a financial supporter today. A $5 dollar monthly donation gets you an $8 monthly coupon code for any audiobook order. Thank you so much. There are 10 new titles from the archives now available on the website. Works from O. Henry, Kate Chopin, Guy de Maupassant, Louisa May Alcott and others are ready when you are. One of the things I love about the classics is that even the “scary” stories have something interesting to offer. Take today's story for instance. It's not just a story where, “oh, you know what would be really creepy…”. Hodgson, as he often does, has couched his scary story within a story where two men are discussing the nature of life. Is it life as we know it simply something that spontaneously happens when the elements and conditions are perfect? Or is there a deeper, more mysterious power at play? What does this mean about life after death? Then the story illustrates a point. I mean, seriously, to probe these profound questions in the midst of getting thrilled and spooked is one of the charms of these stories. And if you'd like to experience this phenomenon further – go read Frankenstein. Again.

The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson audiobook. The Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high – the Last Redoubt, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of Energy, known as the 'air clog', powered from a subterranean energy source called the 'Earth Current'. For millennia, vast living shapes—the Watchers—have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human. To leave the protection of the Circle means almost certain death, or worse an ultimate destruction of the soul. As the story commences, the narrator establishes mind contact with an inhabitant of another, forgotten Lesser Redoubt. First one expedition sets off to succor the inhabitants of the Lesser Redoubt, whose own Earth Current has been exhausted, only to meet with disaster. After that the narrator sets off alone into the darkness to find the girl he has made contact with, knowing now that she is the reincarnation of his past love. H. P. Lovecraft describes the novel as 'one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written'. Clark Ashton Smith wrote of it that 'In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson audiobook. The Ghost Pirates is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power.

This week, we have a short story from master of gothic fantasy horror, William Hope Hodgson. Famous in his lifetime for his novels 'The House on the Borderland' and 'The Night Land', this short story, 'The Voice in the Night', has arguably been his most influential. Dark, brooding, fantastical, it bears the hallmarks of Hodgson's style, and its themes can be traced to the modern day, with horror works such as 'The Last of Us'.
