The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson

[lotusvine]

This book, written in 1912 by William Hope Hodgson is an imaginative tour-de-force, filled with spectacular imagery and grotesque monsters. It’s an epic story that riffs off the Orpheus myths; about a man going entering the underworld to rescue the woman he loves.

Unfortunately, the story is also gratingly written, with large info-dumps, dull

You are not creating a vast sales surge for that novel with a review like that.

I enjoyed reading your review.
