The Voice in the night

Written by William Hope Hodgson

Narrated by Edward E. French

A weird tale that anticipates the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. Terror on the high seas when crew men on a ship encounter a man whose body is slowly being absorbed by a gelatinous cosmic horror. William Hope Hodgson (November 15, 1877 – April 1918) aims for horror with a scientific rather than a supernatural basis. In fact Lovecraft called him "second only to Algernon Blackwood in his serious treatment of unreality." Oscar nominated and Emmy Award Winning Special Effects makeup Artist Ed French narrates this chillingly somber tale.

William Hope Hodgson

William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was a British author and poet best known for his works of macabre fiction. Early experience as a sailor gave resonance to his novels of the supernatural at sea, The Ghost Pirates and The Boats of the Glen-Carrig, but The House on the Borderland and The Night Land are often singled out for their powerful depiction of eerie, otherworldly horror. The author was a man of many parts, a public speaker, photographer and early advocate of bodybuilding. He was killed in action during the Battle of the Lys in the First World War.
