The House on the Borderland 是 William Hope Hodgson 创作的一部超自然恐怖小说。他打破了既有的鬼故事和哥特式框架，融合出一种全新的宇宙恐怖风格，对后世的奇幻惊悚小说作家产生了深远影响，尤以 H. P. Lovecraft 为甚。Tonnison 和 Berreggnog 两位绅士前往爱尔兰的一个村庄度假钓鱼一周。在那里，他们发现了一座奇特房屋的废墟，以及这栋房子前房客的日记，破损书页上的文字隐约透露出一种远超世间曾有认知的邪恶力量。

我很喜欢这段关于 Hodgson 的《The House on the Borderland》的批注：这本小说的原版印刷本里包含了病态般密集的逗号——多到现代读者往好里说是觉得分散注意力，往坏里说就是根本不合语法。编辑们……
I liked this note on Hodgson's The House on the Borderland: The original print edition of this novel contains a pathological number of commas—so much so that a modern reader would find them distracting at best and plainly ungrammatical at worst. The editors…
William Hope Hodgson 写的《House on the Borderland》。非常有氛围感的恐怖小说。我以前每年都要重读《指环王》，但我差不多把整本书都背下来了，就变得很无聊了
House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodges. Very atmospheric horror I read to read Lord of the Rings every year but I pretty much got to memorise the whole thing and it became a drag
《指环王》、《House on the Borderland》、《天路历程》、《格列佛游记》，还有洛夫克拉夫特（H.P. Lovecraft）全集

……《活死人之夜》灵感来自 1954 年的小说《我是传奇》，而后者基于吸血鬼神话。虽然可能不是直接灵感，但这让我想起了 1908 年的小说《The House on the Borderland》里猪人围攻房子的那个章节。
…Living Dead is inspired by the 1954 novel I Am Legend, which is based on vampire mythology. And although it's probably not a direct inspiration, it also reminds me of the chapter in the 1908 novel The House on the Borderland where the swine-things attack the house.
额，你理解得完全没错。是他命名的，但“濒死地球”（Dying Earth）这一微流派最显眼的开端其实是几十年前的《时间机器》和相对没那么出名的《The House on the Borderland》。这并不是什么新想法，但他多多少少用一个显而易见的名字简明扼要地做了总结，然后把多个故事放在一个具有某些重叠特征的时间线里，有点像 Varley 的《Eight…
Uh, you parsed it right. He named it, but the microgenre known as "Dying Earth" would most recognizably start some decades before with The Time Machine and the somewhat lesser-known The House on the Borderland. It wasn't a new idea but he more or less summed it up in a succinct manner with an obvious name, then placed multiple stories within a timeline with some overlapping features, a bit like Varley's "Eight…
