Overview
In the far future, humankindās survivors huddle below Earthās frozen surface in a pyramidal fortress-city that, for centuries now, has been under siege by loathsome āAb-humans,ā enormous slugs and spiders, and malevolent āWatching Thingsā from another dimension. When our unnamed protagonist receives a telepathic distress signal from a woman whom (in a previous incarnation) heād once loved, he sallies forth on an ill-advised rescue missionāinto the fiend-haunted Night Land!
āLike certain rare dreams,ā C. S. Lewis wrote of Hodgsonās masterpiece, The Night Land can give āsensations we never had before and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience.ā H. P. Lovecraft agreed that this is āone of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written.ā
William Hope Hodgson (1877ā1918) was an English poet, sailor, bodybuilder, and weird fiction pioneer whose horror, fantastic, and proto-sf novelsāin addition to The Night Landāinclude The Boats of the āGlen Carrigā (1907), The House on the Borderland (1908), and The Ghost Pirates (1909). He also wrote stories in the Sargasso Sea series, the Captain Gault series, and a series about the occult detective Carnacki.
