Synopsis "La Casa en el Confín de la Tierra (in Spanish)"

William Hope Hodgson (1875-1918) es sin duda uno de los representantes más originales de lo que se ha dado en llamar el «cuento materialista de terror». La asombrosa facilidad de Hodgson para recrear atmósferas angustiosas y oprimentes fascinó a H.P. Lovecraft y los escritores de su círculo. A propósito de esta obra, decía Lovecraft: «La casa en el confín de la tierra (1908) -quizá la mejor de todas las obras de Hodgson- trata de un caserón solitario y temido de Irlanda, que constituye el centro de espantosas fuerzas del trasmundo y soporta el asedio de híbridas y blasfemas anormalidades que surgen de secretos abismos inferiores. Los vagabundeos del espíritu del narrador durante ilimitados años-luz del espacio cósmico y kalpas de eternidad y su asistencia a la destrucción final del sistema solar, son algo casi único en la literatura fantástica. Por lo demás, a lo largo de la historia se pone de manifiesto la capacidad del autor para sugerir horrores vagos y emboscados en un escenario natural.»

He was born in 1875, son of a clergyman from Essex, and from an early age he went to sea as a crew member on merchant ships. However, Hodgson detested that life, and as soon as he had the chance, he left it to engage in other work and to write stories full of mystery, terror, and adventure, many of them set at sea, a dangerous sea filled with monstrous entities and abandoned ships. Although Hodgson's work remained forgotten for years due to his early death in France during World War I, cutting short his literary career, authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, who spoke enthusiastically about his supernatural novel The House on the Borderland (in this same collection), or Clark Ashton Smith claimed him as a master (along with Ambrose Bierce and others) of the emerging American school of Supernatural Horror.
