Night Land

Night Land

by William Hope Hodgson

Set in a distant future where the sun has died, leaving the Earth shrouded in eternal darkness, "Night Land" follows a group of survivors who have taken refuge in a massive metal pyramid called the Last Redoubt. The pyramid, powered by an ancient source of energy called the "Earth Current," serves as a sanctuary against the terrifying creatures that lurk in the surrounding darkness. When the Earth Current begins to falter, an expedition is sent to find a potential source of energy in a lesser redoubt. Their journey leads them to a terrifying truth about the nature of the darkness and the ancient, monstrous beings that inhabit it. The story explores themes of survival, fear, love, and the consequences of venturing into the unknown.
