Do you know the work of William Hope Hodgson? He was a writer of horror famed for his short stories. Though Hodgson was killed on April 19, 1918, his most famous character, the ghost hunter Carnacki, long out-lived him with other writers adding to his tales.
Today is William Hope Hodgson’s birthday. He is celebrated on Sam Gafford’s blog here:
