About this book

Set millions of years after the Sun has gone dark, Hodgson's strange epic imagines the last of humanity sealed inside the Last Redoubt, a vast metal pyramid ringed by monstrous Watchers and unnameable forces in the eternal night outside. When the narrator senses that his lost love survives in a smaller, failing redoubt far across the dark, he ventures into a landscape of horror to reach her. The vision is unforgettable and deeply influential on later weird and science fiction, even if the deliberately archaic prose asks patience of the reader. Few books conjure such a sense of cosmic loneliness and dread. This free PDF and EPUB edition preserves a foundational work of cosmic horror and science fantasy.
