First published in 1914, Adrian Ross's novel recalls the work of William Hope Hodgson in its depiction of a stronghold under siege by a supernatural menace, as well as that of Ross's friend, M R James (to whom he dedicated the novel), in its subtle accumulation of weird dread surrounding an adversary that defies the traditional forms of supernatural horror.
Evoking its historical period through the authentic style of its first person narrative, and the light use of Ross's considerable historical scholarship, The Hole of the Pit is an unjustly forgotten novel from early 20th century weird fiction, and sure to delight readers of H P Lovecraft, Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, William Hope Hodgson and M R James.
