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.
