Description
The Night Land is a tale of the remote future - billions of years after the death of the sun. It is one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written... there is a sense of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the whole range of literature... this fantasy of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid and besieged by monstrous, hybrid and altogether unknown forces of darkness, is something that no reader can ever forget. - H.P. Lovecraft.
In all the literature of fantasy, there are few works so sheerly, purely creative as The Night Land... the ultimate saga of a fantasy world beleaguered by eternal night and the unvisageable spawn of darkness. - Clark Ashton Smith
The strangest mingling of beauty and wonder and darkness and terror ever set down in one novel. - Lin Carter
