The Night Land is a vintage horror novel by William Wish Hodgson.

“The Night Property is a tale of the remote future ‘• vast amounts of years following the loss of life of sunlight. It is probably one of the most powerful pieces of macabre creativity ever written . there is a feeling of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the complete range of literature . . . this fantasy of a night-black, dead world, with the remains of the human race concentrated within a stupendously vast steel pyramid and besieged by monstrous, cross, and altogether unfamiliar pushes of darkness, is certainly a thing that no reader can ignore.” ‘• H. P. Lovecraft.

The tale of a heroic seek out existence beyond the darkness, this groundbreaking story was the first work of modern fantasy to feature a dying Earth. The inspiration for countless research fiction, illusion, and horror novels, the book’s legions of supporters included Clark Ashton Smith, who remarked that “In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land.”
