"The Night Land" by William Hope Hodgson is a horror and fantasy novel published in 1912. Set millions of years in the future after the Sun has died, the story depicts the last remnants of humanity sheltering in a colossal pyramid called the Last Redoubt. Surrounded by eternal darkness and besieged by mysterious forces and monstrous Watchers, they survive on dwindling energy. When the narrator makes psychic contact with a woman in a distant refuge, he ventures alone into the hostile night to find her—and his reincarnated lost love.
