An armed man outside a steep pyramid, in a dark. desolate landscape

"One of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written" — H.P. Lovecraft

Of the Night Land...

A vision of the far-future Earth

William Hope Hodgson's fiction

A very short introduction



By Carole Carmen

A man and a cloaked woman confront a high, ominous, gabled Gothic house, beside a road in darkness.

In recent years, a tall figure in shattered grey armour has been seen wandering the Road Where The Silent Ones Walk. It is not known if this is a True Human — scholars continue to debate. But he has become known to all as The Seeker.

I've fixed a couple of things that broke in a recent Chrome update.

Also: I always make remote backups of the site, but until recently I haven't had a backup for me. I'm going to be sharing the backups with Claire Robertson, our original webmaster's daughter, so she'll be able to put the site back up if something happens to me.
