The House on the Borderland is a Vertigo comics graphic novel version of the 1908 baroque supernatural story by Edwardian writer, William Hope Hodgson. Adapted by Richard Corben and Simon Revelstroke, with illustrations are by Richard Corben of Hellblazer and Heavy Metal fame, The House on the Borderland proves to be a bold and innovative visual retelling of a rather densely narrated tale. The story tells a tale of two gentlemen on a week’s fishing holiday in the Irish village of Kraighten in the mid-fifties. Whilst exploring the local countryside they discover the ruins of a very curious house that appears to have been swallowed by a sinkhole. They subsequently find what appears to be the diary of its former owner. The torn pages seem to hint at an evil presence that was slowly and irresistibly encroaching upon the property. The author alludes to other events such as strange beasts in the ground at night and his own worsening nightmares. Is any of it to be believed, or is it simply the ravings of a deluded mind?
