H. P. Lovecraft's essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature" describes the novel as "one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written". Clark Ashton Smith wrote of it:In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land. Whatever faults this book may possess, however inordinate its length may seem, it impresses the reader as being the ultimate saga of a perishing cosmos, the last epic of a world beleaguered by eternal night and by the unvisageable spawn of darkness. Only a great poet could have conceived and written this story; and it is perhaps not illegitimate to wonder how much of actual prophecy may have been mingled with the poesy.--Clark Ashton Smith, 1973, "In Appreciation of William Hope Hogdson"When the book was written, the nature of the energy source that powers stars was not known: Lord Kelvin had published calculations based on the hypothesis that the energy came from the gravitational collapse of the gas cloud that had formed the sun and found that this mechanism gave the Sun a lifetime of only a few tens of million of years. Starting from this premise, Hodgson wrote a novel describing a time, millions of years in the future, when the Sun has gone dark.

Acquainted With the Night is a book of nonfiction divided up into fourteen chapters: an introduction and a conclusion frame the rest of the work, which comprises twelve chapters, each one focusing upon a single hour during the night. In total, the twelve chapters span every hour between the times of 6 P.M. and 5 A.M., and each hour's chapter has a different theme. It's a novel approach to an essay collection, and it works quite well; the structure is quite pleasing in a manner evocative of a quiet night.The introduction, called "First Night," explains the origin of the book before launching into the origin of "night," both scientifically and etymologically. The narrator (Dewdney) describes his draw toward the night and his motivation for writing this book, which is a beautiful tribute to the hours between dusk and dawn that most people regard as simply lost time. He then goes on to investigate the origin of the word "night," tracing it all the way back to the ancient Hittite language of four millennia ago, where nekus is the word for "night." The various accounts of the creation (or a priori existence) of night are recorded in this section as well. This is the last line of the introduction, and it sets the scene sublimely for the following twelve chapters: "Night is a collective planetary spectacle, it is a mysterious, magical realm, and it is a frontier that we are still exploring" (16).

Described by H. P. Lovecraft as being "one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written", The Night Land is a classic horror fantasy novel by William Hope Hodgson published in 1912. Telling the story of a dying earth, The Night Land starts with a man from the 17th century who, mourning the death of his true love, is given a vision through the eyes his future incarnation. In that distant time Earth is only dimly lit by the remaining glow of the dead Sun. The last millions of the human race cluster together inside the Last Redoubt, a huge metal pyramid, and are set upon by mysterious forces from the dark outside. Leaving the protection of their refuge means certain death, but our narrator makes mind contact with a survivor in a forgotten Lesser Redoubt. He must journey alone through the evil darkness to find her, knowing that she is the reincarnation of his past precious love.
