Brief description:
William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was an English novelist, essayist, and short story writer. Although he began his career as a poet, he later turned to writing stories of horror and fantasy inspired by his years as a sailor. With such works as the "Sargasso Sea Stories" and The House on the Borderland (1908), Hodgson established himself as an influential and popular storyteller and pioneer of science fiction before his life was cut short while serving in the First World War.
