About

This collection has a more ‘gothicky’ flavour than most of my books and two of the stories (a novella and novelette) were directly inspired by William Hope Hodgson. The first of these got a lot of praise at the time from various critics and reviewers and was my attempt to blend the concerns of Hogdson with those of Borges. – 24.03.2014

Book Description

Jason E. Rolfe and Journeys Beyond Advice

Journeys Beyond Advice – 2014 Edition

As E.F. Bleiler states in his Afterword: “What do I like about Rhys Hughes’s work? Fun. Hughes sees and precipitates in words the latent humour in almost anything.”

In praise of Hughes:

“‘The World Beyond the Stairwell’ may well be the finest tribute (with love) to Hodgson ever written.” – JOHN CLUTE

Rhys Hughes and Journeys Beyond Advice

The wonderful Kseniya Gomzjakova poses with my Journeys Beyond Advice, which is a collection of novellas, novelettes and short stories that were inspired by William Hope Hodgson, H.P. Lovecraft and Jorge Luis Borges in equal measure.
