William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land (1912) is a staggering piece of early weird fiction — an immense, apocalyptic vision set millions of years in the future, after the sun has died. Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

Deep in the haunted realm of Averoigne, something ancient and profane is stirring. A vanished sorcerer, a trail of stolen corpses, and a ruined fortress whisper a single, terrifying secret—one only the bravest dare uncover. When strange lights blaze above the crumbling battlements of Ylourgne and the dead themselves begin to wander, a lone seeker of forbidden truths must confront the darkness his former master left behind. In this season-ending descent into Gothic terror, Horror Hill host Erik Peabody guides listeners through Clark Ashton Smith's legendary tale of necromancy, dread, and the monstrous consequences of unchecked ambition. Expect infernal rituals, eerie revelations, and the creeping certainty that some horrors were never meant to be unearthed. Brace yourself. The shadows are gathering, the earth is trembling, and something colossal is waking. Welcome to the finale.

Clark Ashton Smith's "Symposium of the Gorgon," a masterful blend of satire and fantasy, made its debut in _Fantastic Universe Science Fiction_ in October 1958. Published relatively late in Smith's career, the story showcases his enduring talent for crafting bizarre and imaginative narratives, even as his output had begun to wane. The appearance in _Fantastic Universe_ introduced this darkly humorous tale to a new generation of pulp readers. ⭐ Join my Patreon ⭐ https://patreon.com/barcud Go here for a library of ad-free stories, a monthly members only story and early access to the regular stories I put out.  You can choose to have ghost stories only, or detective stories or classic literature, or all of them for either $5 or $10 a month.  Many hundreds of hours of stories.
