An adventure of both science fiction and fantasy-one of the great
love stories--this is William Hope Hodgson's masterpiece, rewritten
for the modern reader. Penned in 1912, The Night Land is considered
by many to be a work of genius, but one written in a difficult,
archaic style that readers often find impenetrable. As a labor of
love, James Stoddard has rewritten Hodgson's book to bring it to a
wider audience. The story opens in the 19th century, but quickly
moves to the far future, where the sun has gone out, leaving the
world in a darkness broken only by strange lights and mysterious
fires. Over the ages, monsters and evil forces have descended to
the earth, compelling the surviving humans to take refuge in a
great pyramid of imperishable metal built in a miles-deep chasm.
The monsters surround the pyramid in a perpetual siege lasting for
eons, waiting for the moment when its defenses will fail. But one
man, born out of his time, must leave the pyramid to seek his
long-lost love though all the perils of the Night Land.
