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 Hodgsons 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 third book of the five-volume set  The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea  collects more of Hodgsons nautical fiction  including his 1909 novel The Ghost Pirates.  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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966252937269,"sku":"ByrdShop_189238941X","price":453.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781892389411.jpg?v=1770558657","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-ghost-pirates-and-other-revenants-of-the-sea-the-collected-fiction-of-william-hope-hodgson-volume-3","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
