About this ebook
A man ventures into a world deprived of sunlight in this early-twentieth-century dystopian fantasy masterpiece.
"One of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written." —H. P. Lovecraft
The sun went out centuries ago. A vestige of mankind still clings to life, hidden from Earth's frozen surface in an underground fortress called the Last Redoubt. But this tenuous refuge is under siege by enormous spiders, "Abhuman" creatures, and "Watchers" from another dimension. With this host of horrors lurking just beyond, leaving the Last Redoubt is unthinkable.
When a man receives a telepathic message from a long-forgotten Redoubt, he recognizes the woman's voice as a love from another lifetime. To rescue her, he will risk his life—or worse—as he ventures into the Night Land. First published in 1912, William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land is a pioneering work of sci-fi fantasy.A man ventures into a world deprived of sunlight in this early-twentieth-century dystopian fantasy masterpiece.
