The Night Land
William Hope Hodgson
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A visionary blend of science fiction, horror, and epic romance, The Night Land is a monumental work of imaginative fiction. First published in 1912, William Hope Hodgson’s masterwork transports listeners to a far-distant future, where the sun has died and the last remnants of humanity cling to survival in a fortress city surrounded by unending darkness.
In this eerie, apocalyptic world, monstrous forces roam the eternal night—watching, waiting, and hunting. Mankind has retreated into the Last Redoubt, a vast, pyramid-like stronghold powered by ancient technology. But when a distant signal reveals that another bastion of humanity may exist beyond the black plains, one man undertakes a perilous journey across a nightmare landscape to find the woman he loves.
Told in an archaic, dreamlike style, The Night Land is both a haunting love story and a pioneering tale of cosmic horror. Hodgson’s vast, unknowable world inspired generations of writers, including H.P. Lovecraft and C.S. Lewis, with its chilling vision of time, space, and the terrifying unknown.
This audiobook edition brings to life the strange majesty and eerie atmosphere of one of speculative fiction’s earliest epics. Perfect for fans of dystopian worlds, classic horror, and philosophical science fiction that dares to ask what endures when the world has ended.
