I had a spelling mistake in my last message. I said his name was 
"Hogson". This is wrong. You are correct, his last name is Hodgson. 

The Forgotten Futures site that you list has his Carnacki stories. 
Hodgson's novels can be found on the Project Gutenberg site:

http://www.gutenberg.net/browse/authors/h

Scroll down about 3/5 of the way down the page.

I'm not sure the Forgotten Futures site should have his last three 
stories online. They were published in 1947 or 1948. Originally the
first 
would have gone into the public domain in 1975 and 1976, respectively.
If 
they were not reprinted in those years, they were not renewed and are in

the public domain. If they were printed, they are still covered by 
copyright. 

In other words, read 'em while you can!

In the "pedantic correction department", I made a mistake earlier with 
regard to Lovecraft's copyrights. His stores that were first published
in 
1923 go into the public domain in 2018. For some reason I thought his 
first stories were published in 1921, but if that were the case they'd 
already be in the public domain.
