About this listen

 In the summer of 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, travel to the quaint village of Kraighten in Ireland for a week of fishing. Their adventure takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon the ruins of a mysterious house and unearth a diary belonging to its former owner. As they delve into the torn pages, they uncover dark hints of an evil that transcends the boundaries of reality. This classic novel serves as a bridge between the British fantastic and the supernatural literature of the late 19th century, paving the way for modern horror fiction. Renowned American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft has cited this work, along with others by Hodgson, as a significant influence on his own writing.
