✦ Synopsis

"Awake in the Night Land is an epic collection of four of John C. Wright's brilliant forays into the dark fantasy world of William Hope Hodgson's 1912 novel, The Night Land. Part novel, part anthology, the book consists of four related novellas, "Awake in the Night", "The Cry of the Night-Hound", "Silence of the Night", and "The Last of All Suns", which collectively tell the haunting tale of the Last Redoubt of Man and the end of the human race. Widely considered to be the finest tribute to Hodgson ever written, the first novella, "Awake in the Night", was previously published in 2004 in The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-First Annual Collection. Awake in the night land marks the first time all four novellas have been gathered into a single volume"--Google Books.;"The Night Land is an utterly heartless world, cruel, dark, and populated with abhuman monsters, demonic animals, and mountain-sized beings, all of whom are filled with relentless hate. And yet the men and women of the Great Redoubt still exhibit great faith, courage, and hope even though they know the time of Man's extinction is rapidly approaching"--Back cover.
