The Night Land
About this book
In the far future, humankind's survivors huddle below Earth's frozen surface in a pyramidal fortress-city that, for centuries now, has been under siege by loathsome "Ab-humans," enormous slugs and spiders, and malevolent "Watching Things" from another dimension. When our unnamed protagonist receives a telepathic distress signal from a woman whom (in a previous incarnation) he'd once loved, he sallies forth on an ill-advised rescue missionāinto the fiend-haunted Night Land!
"Like certain rare dreams," C. S. Lewis wrote of Hodgson's masterpiece, The Night Land can give "sensations we never had before and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience." H. P. Lovecraft agreed that this is "one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written."
