The Night Land: A Love Tale

About this book

The sun has gone dark. Humanity survives in a last great fortress while monstrous things move across the plain outside. Into this almost unimaginable future comes a story of love and an expedition through the night.

William Hope Hodgson invents the Last Redoubt, its protective defences and the threatening Watchers that surround it. The novel's archaic language can be demanding, but its scale is extraordinary. Few books make the extinction of daylight feel so physical, or place tenderness so precariously against an almost endless darkness.
