Okay!! So!! I've read "The House on the Borderland" and it's gonna be in the next Lovecraft blog, but I have to jump the gun a bit.
Short version, loved the shit out of "Borderland" and its made me want to get more William Hope Hodgson.
One of the ones I want to get is....
The Casebook of Carnacki the Ghost-Finder (1913)
Carnacki's like a fusion of Sherlock Holmes, and Ghostbusters.
But before Ghostbusters.
Because of course W.H. Hodgson was so ahead of his time he invented ghostbusting.
Of course he was.
Anyway!! There are a bunch of fan-sequels floating around. Some of them cross over with Lovecraft, and those stories are compiled in.....
Carnacki: The Lost Cases (2016)
Carnacki: Starry Wisdom and Other Stories (2026)
I'm not gonna get 'em.
Like the Sherlock ones, I'm just gonna acknowledge their existence to make the Lovecraft connection to this uber-marathon.
The books have already multiplied out of control on me.
I gotta make this thing end someday.
There, I'll plug this into my "Borderland" review and to original "Carnacki" when I get and read it.
Stay tuned!
