Cited by H.P. Lovecraft as 'perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson's works', this tale of a deserted house in Ireland hints at a terrifying evil.

When two men on an innocent fishing trip encounter the enigmatic ruins of a house, they slowly uncover its secrets through the diary of its previous tenant.

At each turn of the page, horrors begin to unfold, monsters are revealed and new dimensions exposed.

A gripping story right to the very end, Hodgson's masterful writing leads the reader into a nightmarish world from which there may be no escape. FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, supernatural to horror and fantasy to science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, blood-lusty vampires, dastardly villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations and escapist fantasies.

Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.

Each book features a brand new biography and glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.
