A romance of the far future in which humankind has relocated underground where it is beset by monsters from another dimension—but love leads on. In the far future humankind’s survivors huddle below Earth’s frozen surface in a pyramidal fortress-city that for centuries now has been under siege by loathsome Ab-humans ” enormous slugs and spiders and malevolent Watching Things” from another dimension. When our unnamed protagonist receives a telepathic distress signal from a woman whom (in a previous incarnation) he’d once loved he sallies forth on an ill-advised rescue mission—into the fiend-haunted Night Land! Like certain rare dreams ” C. S. Lewis wrote of Hodgson’s masterpiece The Night Land can give sensations we never had before and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience.” H. P.
