As well as four classic fantasy novels and a series of "occult detective" stories, William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) produced a large number of sea-faring tales, many of them steeped in elements of supernatural terror. Hodgson's vividly drawn descriptions of revulsive oceanic entities often pre-echo Lovecraft in their evocation of squamous, deep-sea terror, while the latter also acknowledged Hodgson's masterful evocations of elemental disquiet and disorder. NIGHT OCEANS collects all of Hodgson's acclaimed "Sargasso Sea" tales - From The Tideless Sea, The Mystery Of The Derelict, The Thing In The Weeds, The Finding Of The Graiken, and The Voice In The Dawn (famously filmed in 1963 by Japanese director Ishiro Honda, under the title Matango) - reproduced in chronological order according to year of publication; also included is a complementary bonus text, The Weed Men, taken from Hodgson's sea-faring novel The Boats Of Glen Carrig.
