There's actually a short film of this one from an old black and white story anthology tv show (late 1950s I think).<br /><br />If you decide to delve deeper, I think BOATS OF THE GLEN CARRIG, a short novel, is a good starting place. Most people think HOUSE ON THE BORDER LAND his best but I don't agree. The Masterpiece is THE NIGHT LAND. It's not an easy read (WHH basically invented his own dialect of English to write the story in) but well worth it.<br /><br />If that sounds a bit much, I'd recommend THE DREAM OF X, a severely abridged version of THE NIGHT LAND where Hodgson cut the story by 90% but kept the best part<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy!<br /><br />--John R.<br />John D.

I was in luck, because in one I found his "The Voice in the Night", which seemed to be the exactly right story to understand the above references to the "fungal human"! Great stuff & looking forward to tracking down more.<br /><br />ZZenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.com
