William Hope Hodgson was born in Essex, England, on November 15th, 1877. Over his short career he produced a large body of work which explored and covered many genres.

This fused together his passion for sleuthing and interest in the Occult. It was a memorable success.

De acuerdo con la tradición familiar de los Higgins, toda primogénita es acosada por un caballo fantasmal durante su noviazgo. Esta historia ha sido considerada una leyenda, pero ahora por primera vez en siete generaciones, una mujer es la primogénita y su prometido ha terminado con un brazo roto después de un ataque por un asaltante misterioso. Se le pide entonces a Carnacki que investigar. Él y la mujer, Mary y su prometido, Beaumont, escuchan el golpeteo de cascos en la noche, pero no se ve ningún caballo.

Carnacki enfrenta quizás su más poderoso adversario: un inquietante espíritu de un cerdo de gigantescas proporciones que intenta entrar en nuestro mundo, y que se manifiesta como una serie de terribles pesadillas. Él está equipado con una nueva variante de su pentagrama eléctrico con los tubos de los colores del arco iris. Cuando se conecta a la cabeza del soñador estos tubos fluctúan en color y en la intensidad de la luz. Carnacki toma fotografías los tubos en una tira de papel de lento movimiento que desarrolla especialmente para crear imágenes de en alto relieve.

Carnacki investiga una manifestación en casa de su madre.

Sin embargo, ella no recuerda haberlo hecho al día siguiente, y pasa de nuevo a la noche siguiente. Cuando Carnacki investiga en su habitación, encuentra su puerta abierta, pero ella se encuentra dormida.

Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive. Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and ‘reasoned’ away to an extent, in past years it’s what usually kept you alive. In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face.

In this collection of short stories some of our most popular and well-known authors are grouped together with an unfortunate tag: dead at 40. These authors are not run-of-the-mill or ten a penny; many are literary leviathans who left enduring works of literature and sadly may have left us many more had they lived. We will never know.

William Hope Hodgson wrote "The Terror of the Water-Tank" in 1907 and the story has been published in several pulp magazines since then. Mike Vendetti has taken this story and turned it into an engrossing audiobook. The story takes place in England where crowning the heights on the outskirts of a certain town on the east coast is a large, iron water-tank from which an isolated row of small villas obtains its supply. The top of this tank has been cemented, and around it have been placed railings, thus making it a splendid "look-out" for townspeople who may choose to promenade upon it.
