Reseña del libro "The Dream of x and Other Fantastic Visions: The Collected Fiction of William Hope Hodgson, Volume 5 (en Inglés)"

Available for the first time in trade paperback, the final volume in a five-book set collecting the complete fiction of William Hope Hodgson, an influential early twentieth-century author of science fiction, horror, and the fantastic. William Hope Hodgson was, like his contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, one of the most important, prolific, and influential fantasists of the early twentieth century. 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 Hodgsons tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous and horrific unknown.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.Night Shade Bookss five-volume series presents all of Hodgsons 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, The Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions, collects all of Hodgsons miscellaneous writings, "revisions, and altered works for US publication, including The Dream of X, a condensed, Hodgson-edited version of The Night Land. The Complete Fiction of William Hope Hodgson is published by Night Shade Books in the following volumes: The Boats of the Glen Carrig and Other Nautical Adventures The House on the Borderland and Other Mysterious Places The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea The Night Land and Other Romances The Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions

Nació en 1875, hijo de un clérigo de Essex, y desde muy temprano se hizo a la mar como tripulante de barcos mercantes. No obstante, Hodgson aborrecía aquella vida, y en cuanto tuvo ocasión la abandonó para dedicarse a otras labores y a escribir relatos llenos de misterio, terror y aventura, ambientados muchos de ellos en el mar, un mar peligroso y lleno de entidades monstruosas y barcos abandonados. A pesar de que durante años la obra de Hodgson permaneció en el olvido a causa de su temprana muerte en Francia, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, truncándose así su carrera literaria, autores como H.P. Lovecraft, que hablaba con entusiasmo de su novela sobrenatural La casa en el confín de la tierra (en esta misma colección), o Clark Ashton Smith lo reivindicaron como maestro (junto a Ambrose Bierce y otros) de la naciente escuela norteamericana del Horror Sobrenatural.
