Synopsis "The Night Land.( horror ) NOVEL by: William Hope Hodgson (in English)"

One of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the "air clog," powered from the Earth's internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes - the Watchers - have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human

Nació en 1875, hijo de un clérigo de Essex, y desde muy temprano se hizo a la mar como tripulante de barcos mercantes. No obstante, Hodgson aborrecía aquella vida, y en cuanto tuvo ocasión la abandonó para dedicarse a otras labores y a escribir relatos llenos de misterio, terror y aventura, ambientados muchos de ellos en el mar, un mar peligroso y lleno de entidades monstruosas y barcos abandonados. A pesar de que durante años la obra de Hodgson permaneció en el olvido a causa de su temprana muerte en Francia, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, truncándose así su carrera literaria, autores como H.P. Lovecraft, que hablaba con entusiasmo de su novela sobrenatural La casa en el confín de la tierra (en esta misma colección), o Clark Ashton Smith lo reivindicaron como maestro (junto a Ambrose Bierce y otros) de la naciente escuela norteamericana del Horror Sobrenatural.
