The Night Land

Written by William Hope Hodgson

Narrated by Jony William

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.

William Hope Hodgson

William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was a British author and poet best known for his works of macabre fiction. Early experience as a sailor gave resonance to his novels of the supernatural at sea, The Ghost Pirates and The Boats of the Glen-Carrig, but The House on the Borderland and The Night Land are often singled out for their powerful depiction of eerie, otherworldly horror. The author was a man of many parts, a public speaker, photographer and early advocate of bodybuilding. He was killed in action during the Battle of the Lys in the First World War.
