About William Hope Hodgson
He worked at sea before developing his literary career, and maritime experience informs many of his stories. His works include The House on the Borderland, The Night Land, The Ghost Pirates and the Carnacki investigations of supernatural phenomena. He was killed during the First World War. The catalogue’s Arabic name forms «هودجسون» and «هودسون» refer here to the same author.
