His dark and unsettling short stories and novels were shaped in large part by personal experience (a professional merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgson's tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous and horrific unknown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While his nautical adventure fiction was very popular during his lifetime, the supernatural and cosmic horror he is most remembered for only became well known after his death, mainly due to the efforts of writers like H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, who often praised his work and cited it as an influence on their own. By the latter half of the twentieth century, it was only his weird fiction that remained in print, and his vast catalog of non-supernatural stories was extremely hard to find. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Night Shade Books's five-volume series presents all of Hodgson's unique and timeless fiction. Each volume contains one of Hodgson's novels, along with a selection of thematically-linked short fiction, including a number of works reprinted for the first time since their original publication. The third book of the five-volume set, \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, collects more of Hodgson's nautical fiction, including his 1909 novel \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Complete Fiction of William Hope Hodgson is published by Night Shade Books in the following volumes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Boats of the \"Glen Carrig\" and Other Nautical Adventures\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe House on the Borderland and Other Mysterious Places\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Night Land and Other Romances\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Hope Hodgson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597809411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597809412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Night Shade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.60d","brand":"William Hope Hodgson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044608504063,"sku":"9781597809412","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e359e9ff-f4af-4730-ae3e-558242875233.jpg?v=1684973829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghost-pirates-and-other-william-hope-hodgson-9781597809412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
