The House on the Borderland
by William Hope Hodgson
Supernatural-story pioneer William Hope Hodgson was an inspiration for Lovecraft and
later generations of writers. This novel of an Irish house that lay at the intersection
of monstrous other dimensions seems to include time travel when the narrator witnesses
and returns from a future the Earth is falling into the Sun while a second green star
visits our solar system.
— Michael Main
Years appeared to pass, slowly. The earth had almost reached the center of the sun’s
disk. The light from the Green Sun—as now it must be called—shone through the
interstices, that gapped the mouldered walls of the old house, giving them the appearance
of being wrapped in green flames. The Swine-creatures still crawled about the walls.
