James Hogg, bekannt als der „Ettrick Shepherd“, war ein schottischer Dichter und Romanautor, der sowohl auf Schottisch als auch auf Englisch schrieb. Sein Werk befasst sich oft mit den dunkleren Aspekten der menschlichen Psyche und erforscht Themen wie Glauben, Besessenheit und das Übernatürliche mit einer einzigartigen Mischung aus gotischer Intensität und volkstümlicher Sensibilität. Hoggs erzählerischer Stil verwendet häufig unzuverlässige Erzähler und einen scharfen, oft satirischen Witz, der den Leser in komplexe Erkundungen von Glauben und Wahn führt. Seine unverwechselbare Stimme und seine fantasievolle Erzählweise sichern ihm seinen Platz als bedeutende Figur in der schottischen Literatur.
