William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918) was born in Essex but moved several times, including a stint in County Galway – inspiration for The House on the Borderland. Drawn to the sea, he worked in the Merchant Marine. His association with the ocean would unfold in his many sea stories, part of a fantastic legacy of adventure, mystery and horror fiction.
