Explore "The House on the Borderland" by William Hope Hodgson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This house is, as I have said before, surrounded by a huge estate, and wild and uncultivated gardens.
Away at the back, distant some three hundred yards, is a dark, deep ravine -- spoken of as the "Pit" by the peasantry. At the bottom runs a sluggish stream so overhung by trees as scarcely to be seen from above.
