The Night Land

The Night Land is a classic horror novel by William Hope Hodgson.


The Night Land is a tale of the remote future, billions of years after the death of the sun. It is one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written. There is a sense of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the whole range of literature. This fantasy of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid and besieged by monstrous, hybrid and altogether unknown forces of darkness, is something that no reader can forget.
