Description
The nature of the plot of The House on the Borderland makes it nearly impossible to classify. Its mixture of monsters, science fiction, space and time travel, supernatural mystery, and allegorical fantasy make the novel unique. The chapters of the story dealing with the attack of the swine-things from the pit beneath the house, coupled with the traditional haunted-house setting, place the novel between the ghost stories of M. R. James, in which the supernatural entities begin to assume physical form and do real damage, and the cosmic, tentacled monsters of H. P. Lovecraft. In fact, many of Lovecraft's ideas and themes can be traced to suggestions in The House on the Borderland and other works by William Hope Hodgson.
