Was für ein wildes Finale, und zwar mit Special Guest: Der Horla ist wieder da! Außerdem erwarten uns pilziger Infektionshorror, nächtliche Alptraum-Besucher und Tierwohl wird im Haus an der Grenze von William Hope Hodgson anscheinend auch nicht gerade groß geschrieben. In den letzten Kapiteln der Geschichte bekommen wir es noch mal mit einer diffusen Menge unterschiedlicher Horror-Tropes zu tun. Sollen wir Hodgson für seinen bewussten Umgang mit unserer Erwartungshaltung bewundern oder wütend darüber sein, dass er uns mit falschen Hoffnungen auf einen wieder lebendigen Pepper trollt? Entscheidet selbst! --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir Hinab in den Maelström (A Descent into the Maelström) von Edgar Allan Poe. Hier findet ihr eine kostenlose, digitale Ausgabe auf Deutsch: https://projekt-gutenberg.org/authors/edgar-allan-poe/books/hinab-in-den-maelstroem/ Und hier geht's zum englischen Original: https://poemuseum.org/a-descent-into-the-maelstrom/ --- Unterstütz uns auf Steady für noch mehr Content abseits der Literatur

Bitte gehen Sie weiter. Hier gibt es nichts zu sehen! Höchstens Zeitreisen und das Ende des Universums, bei dem unser gesamtes Sonnensystem in eine fremde Sonne stürzt und zahllose Schweinebärmänner mit dem brennenden Planeten untergehen. Aber sonst wirklich ganz bestimmt nichts Spektakuläres. Aber im Ernst: Das Haus an der Grenze von William Hope Hodgson überrascht uns mit kosmischem Schrecken und einem wirklich ergreifenden Wiedersehen unseres Protagonisten mit seiner (vermutlich) verstorbenen Ehefrau. Außerdem wird es mal wieder trippy hoch zehn! Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir Das Haus an der Grenze (The House on the Borderland) von William Hope Hodgson zu Ende.

Der Held der Folge? Ganz bestimmt nicht unser Protagonist. Während der nämlich seinen eigenen geistigen Verfall vollkommen fehldeutet und stattdessen seine fürsorgliche Schwester in ihrem Zimmer einsperrt, muss unser vierbeiniger Freund Pepper den Tag eigenpfotig retten. Apathisch und ohne jede Sorge um das eigene Heim stellt der Hausbesitzer außerdem fest, dass sein gesamtes Grundstück von rasenden Wassermassen unterspült wird. Was kann da schon schiefgehen? Ob die Flut auch die fiesen Schweinebärmänner aka die Arbeiterklasse ausgelöscht hat? Es bleibt spannend in William Hope Hodgsons Das Haus an der Grenze. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir weiter bis einschließlich Kapitel 20 von Das Haus an der Grenze (The House on the Borderland) von William Hope Hodgson.

Vom freundlichen Abenteuer-Ausflug mit Hund zur brutalen Niederschlagung eines Bauernaufstands – diesen Stimmungswechsel bekommt ihr nur bei Let's Poe. ❤️ Nachdem unser Protagonist in William Hope Hodgsons Das Haus an der Grenze die Kontrolle über seinen Hund verliert, rüsten die Schweinebärmänner zum vermeintlichen Großangriff auf das Anwesen. Die Brutalität, mit der der Besitzer die merkwürdigen Gestalten zurückschlägt ist so krass, dass er damit anscheinend sogar seine Schwester in Angst versetzt. Isa stellt eine überzeugende These auf und wir fragen uns: Wer ist hier eigentlich das Monster? --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir die Kapitel 8–13 von Das Haus an der Grenze (The House on the Borderland) von William Hope Hodgson.

In an old private chapel attached to a country house, a trusted servant keeps night watch beside the ancient altar, alone behind a locked door. By morning he is found dead, a dagger from the chapel's peculiar mechanism driven clean through his heart—though no human hand should have been able to strike the blow. No tracks, no witnesses, only the oppressive sense that something in that dim, little sanctuary has moved unseen. As Thomas Carnacki retraces the dead man's final hours and tests the chapel's sinister contrivance for himself, the silence around the altar begins to sound like an answer of its own. First published in the 1909 collection The Ghost Pirates, A Chaunty, and Another Story, “The Thing Invisible” later appeared in The New Magazine (January 1912) before being collected in Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder (1913). The story is in the public domain. William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was an English writer of sea stories, supernatural fiction, and weird horror. He is best known for his visionary novels The House on the Borderland and The Night Land, as well as his stories featuring the occult detective Carnacki.

Was für ein wilder Auftakt! Wir begeben uns auf eine neue Reise – mit Das Haus an der Grenze von William Hope Hodgson. In den ersten drei Kapiteln bekommt die Geschichte einen ziemlich abenteuerlichen Doppelrahmen, bevor es über ein gruseliges Weltraumportal in eine rot-umwaberte Weltraum-Arena geht, in der uralte Götter auf den spektakulären Kampf zwischen altem Griesgram und gruseligem Schweinemensch warten. Irgendwo zwischen Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy und Abenteuerroman fühlen wir uns schon jetzt hervorragend abgeholt. Wir sind gespannt, was die Geschichte noch für uns auf Lager hat. --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir die Kapitel 4–7 von Das Haus an der Grenze (The House on the Borderland) von William Hope Hodgson.

Zimmerservice unerwünscht! Im letzten Teil unserer Besprechung von H. P. Lovecrafts Schatten über Innsmouth werden die Hotelmitarbeitenden anscheinend etwas zu aufdringlich. Deshalb macht sich unser Protagonist mitten in der Nacht aus dem Staub und lässt das Gilman House und die Stadt Innsmouth nach einer spektakulären Flucht (vorerst) hinter sich. Zurück im Alltag stößt unser Held jedoch auf immer mehr Verbindungen zwischen seinen Vorfahren sowie den Familien Marsh und Obed. Am Ende der Geschichte steht eine Selbsterkenntnis, die sich auf ganz unterschiedliche Art und Weise deuten lässt. Wir sehen darin eine positive Auflösung und finden: Der Erzähler trifft die richtige Entscheidung, indem er sich nicht von den Konventionen und der Intoleranz seines Umfelds in den Untergang treiben lässt. --- Hier seht ihr, wie Leslie Nielsen in Wrongfully Accused von einem Zug durch den Wald gejagt wird. Erstklassiger Humor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjbUnn32_zU --- In der nächsten Folge lesen wir Das Haus an der Grenze (The House on the Borderland) von William Hope Hodgson.

"Al final me di cuenta de que solo era un hombrecillo a bordo de un pequeño barco en mitad del vasto océano" El autor británico William Hope Hodgson fue sin saberlo, uno de los más influyentes escritores de horror sobrenatural de su generación. A lo largo de su vida, sus textos a penas le proporcionaron ingresos, muchos de sus relatos no se publicarían hasta después de su muerte durante la primera guerra mundial. Su fama se acrecentó de manera póstuma, y fueron otros escritores y lectores del género los que reconocieron la importancia de su legado. Demonios del mar fue publicado por primera vez el 5 de octubre de 1923, en la revista Sea Stories. forma parte de la colección de relatos marítimos que Hodgson desarrolló inspirándose en muchas de las mentadas experiencias. Hodgson nunca perdió su fascinación por el mar, pero la dura vida entre marineros le pasó factura, sufro el maltrato y desazón de un oficio duro y poco agradecido… No se pierdan esta maravillosa compilación de Los Mares Grises Sueñan con mi Muerte , con la edición y traducción de José María Nebreda… https://www.valdemar.com/libro/los-mares-grises-suenan-con-mi-muerte/ Sigan al maestro Toliol en sus redes del Mal https://bsky.app/profile/toliol.bsky.social Sigan las redes de Librería Gigamesh https://bsky.app/profile/gigamesh.com

William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land (1912) is a staggering piece of early weird fiction — an immense, apocalyptic vision set millions of years in the future, after the sun has died. Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

In Ireland, a newly purchased castle unsettles its American owner. He is wealthy, engaged to a local woman, and certain that jealous countrymen mean him harm. What truly threatens the household is a particular room that fills at night with a dangerous, sustained whistling that rises and falls like breath. Doors quiver; servants keep away. Carnacki is summoned with his lamps, his electric scepticism and his knowledge of spirit manifestations. He investigates, seals the room, warns no one to enter and admits himself stumped. At least at first! “The Whistling Room” was first published in 1910 and later collected in Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder (1913).UK publisher: Eveleigh Nash. William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was an English writer of sea horrors and visionary weird fiction.A former merchant sailor, he served in the First World War and was killed near Ypres.

People were turned away for lack of seating. This rarely happens. It was such a fun performance, and so fun to be in character and in costume. I had a little front row cheering section, with a bunch of my kids and their significant others who came. It was so neat to see them there.   We have five Fridays this October! Perfect for this incredible classic from the great William Hope Hodgson. First published in 1908, this installment to the genre of classic horror is legendary. H.P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett have both praised it at length. It's kind of obvious that it helped them see what could be done, and inspire them to reach for the next level. But oh boy, what a level Mr. Hodgson established. I hope you like it.   And now, The House on the Borderland, Part 1 of 5,  by William Hope Hodgson   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $6.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:
