Sinossi
Basata su un presunto manoscritto ritrovato dall'autore, La casa sull'abisso narra la storia inquietante e ricca di colpi di scena, scritta sotto forma di diario, di un uomo, sua sorella e il loro cane Pepper. Ma ciò che Hodgson mette in scena in questo racconto non è tanto la storia in sé, quanto l'archetipo della paura umana: pagina dopo pagina, il lettore si trova avvinto da un mistero che, pur facendolo sprofondare nel terrore, lo tiene incatenato a sé, un mistero in cui proprio il luogo simbolo della sicurezza umana, il focolare domestico, diviene sede di un inferno senza fine.

You will never forget the books as long as you live. Incredible visions inside. I don't know what the author took but it was very strong stuff. Incredible book!
Unique weird fiction story involving a recluse and his sister, Ireland, a towering house overhanging an abyss. Also, pigs. Side effect : the reading thereof can trigger wild hallucinatory imagery and time travel. And here's a link to the full text on Wikisource My opinion on the matter: (view spoiler) [Quite frankly, (hide spoiler)] Leggi tutto
"Miré a uno y otro lado, y vi más y más. Las montañas rebosaban de seres extraños: Dioses-bestias, Horrores tan atroces y deformes, que la cordura y la decencia se niegan a todo intento de descripción. Y yo…, yo me sentí invadido de un horror, una náusea y una repugnancia insoportables; sin embargo, Leggi tutto
