ABOUT THE BOOK

This is the story of William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918). Drawn from his own writings, this previously unseen tale plunges readers into a fishing trip in West Ireland, where two young soldiers have stumbled upon an abandoned, dilapidated house hidden at the bottom of a desolate chasm. Among its crumbling walls and scattered debris, they uncover a handwritten manuscript—the chilling account of the house’s dark past and the sinister secrets buried within the chasm itself.

Intrigued by their discovery, they take the manuscript with them, believing they have found little more than a curious relic of another time. But soon, strange an inexplicable encounters begin to unfold, drawing each man into visions that defy reason.

For one, the encounters are beautiful, transcendent, and filled with an almost otherworldly wonder. For the other, they are terrifying glimpses into a darkness that threatens to overwhelm our very reality.

As the boundaries between past and present dissolve, the two men find themselves confronting their allegiances to each other, and to the very nature of right and wrong, heaven and hell. All with one very disturbing truth—the Swine Things are coming.
