The novels and short stories of William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918), though almost entirely unknown during his lifetime, have become some of the most influential early works in fields of literature as diverse as fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Hodgson's earliest short fiction was inspired and deeply informed by his experiences at sea while a young man; his ambivalent attitude toward the ocean-mingled reverence, awe, fear, and hatred of it-is perhaps nowhere so starkly presented as in his "Sargasso Sea" stories, a series of fictions set in the shared world of the mythical Sargasso, a place of ancient derelicts, monstrous creatures, and hapless human castaways. Mesembria Press is proud to present this new collection of William Hope Hodgson's Sargasso Sea stories, which includes a complete set of notes designed to guide the interested reader through the obscure nautical terminology and stylistic nuances of Hodgson's writing. Includes: - From the Tideless Sea, Part I - From the Tideless Sea, Part II - The Mystery of the Derelict - The Thing in the Weeds - The Finding of the Graiken - The Call in the Dawn plus - Explanatory and critical notes
