The Dream of X

The Dream of X is one of those lost books of science-fantasy -- forgotten for more than fifty years until the incredible researches of Sam Moskowitz recalled it to the light of day. It is a unique book; a carefully rewritten, revised, and reorganized version of William Hope Hodgson's massive, greatest work, The Night Land.And it is a remarkable book, designated by the author as the rescued fragments recovered from the ashes of a fire in the ancient house of the narrator.Set in the distant future, the last redoubt of civilization sustains itself against an eternal, evil siege rarely equalled in the annals of weird fiction.
