Day 19/20

The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson.

Another one I don't have to hand. My copy has a different cover illustration, but I liked this one for the purposes of memeage.

Paperback cover. A dark figure is floating above a desolate sandy plain. In the middle distance, a tall house with steep roofing casts an eerie shadow. Mountains appear to ring the world, with giant, menacing, eldritch figures above them. The sky is red, and there is a giant black sun with a yellow halo. A quote from H.P.Lovecraft describes the book as, "a classic of the first water."
