Thank you for your great comments on Spotify! Commenting on A Practical Man\\u2019s Guide by Jack Vance kimspostbox had this to say, \\u201cI really enjoyed this Jack Vance story. I give it a 5-star review for the narration and sharing the history of the author. It brings in interesting material. Great stuff. Kim A. UK\\u201d
Thanks Kim!
TJ Carroll says, \\u201cThe Hanging Stranger comes together like a wonderful combination of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Stephen King\'s The Fog. It ends on a deliciously macabre note absent of all hope. 10/10.\\u201d

English author William Hope Hodgson was born in 1877 in the hamlet of Blackmore End in Essex, the son of the Reverend Samuel Hodgson, a priest, and Lissie Sarah Brown. Hodgson was a runaway at the age of 13 in an attempt to be a sailor. He was returned to his family but managed to convince his father to allow him to be apprenticed as a cabin boy.
In 1902, Hodgson appeared on stage with handcuffs and other restraining devices supplied by the Blackburn police department and applied the restraints to Harry Houdini, who had previously escaped from the Blackburn jail.
Hodgson was interested in physical fitness and wrote several articles on the subject but found it difficult to make a living. Inspired by authors Edgar Allan Poe, H. G. Wells, and Jules Verne, Hodgson turned his attention to fiction. Hodgson\'s first short story was "The Goddess of Death" in 1904. Today\\u2019s story was published three years later.
From the November 1907 issue of The Blue Book Magazine turn to page 136 for The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson\\u2026
