The House on the Borderland, Chapter 1: The Finding of the Manuscript, by William Hope Hodgson

<p>The October Project begins!<br> Every day this month, except for Mondays, when you get your regularly scheduled story, I'll be publishing one chapter of William Hope Hodgson's tale of siege and sacrifice. This is the first. <br> <br> In which our hero hasn't even entered the story yet. </p>
