Join me in The Red Treehouse as I read a terrific short horror story, The Voice in the Night, by William Hope Hodgson.

First published in 1907, The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson, is a terrific short horror story that has been adapted several times over the past century-plus.

The story involves two boats, one with a small crew of sailors; the other, seemingly abandoned. A mysterious voice calls from the boat, asking for food; but, despite the sailor’s requests, refuses to come into the light.

Focusing on themes of corruption amidst the mysterious, and fear of the unknown, Hodgson’s tale can be read as a warning against betraying one’s morality in the face of mysterious circumstances. If you’re afraid of the dark, this story is guaranteed to keep you up at night!

So, sit back, turn down the lights, pull up the covers, and pay close attention as I read The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson.
