Wildside Press has published an edition of "The Night Land," by William Hope Hodgson. I don't know if there has been an American print edition of this since the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series. It's online at a number of places. In fact, Blackmask.com has a variety of Hodgson works in a variety of electronic formats.
"The Night Land" is an almost legendary book. It's very difficult to read because of the odd way that Hodgson chose to narrate it. The book takes place in the far future, but it's narrated by a seventeenth century man who is supposedly viewing it as a vision of one of his future incarnations. So it is written in an amazingly clunky archaic English, and it's tough to get through at times. Also, it suffers from a subplot about the narrator's love interest that is written in a sickly-sweet romantic style, almost exactly like the way the love interest is handled in Jack London's "Sea Wolf."
But Hodgson's vision utterly original. The setting of the book, the descriptions of the things that menace humans in the Night Land, are like nothing else I've ever read. The book is epic in its scope, the way "The Odyssey" is. I read it electronically on my RocketBook, after downloading it from a server at Carnegie Mellon University. I admit that there are parts of it I skimmed over, and I admit that it was an effort at times, but I'm glad I read it.
There's also an excellent website on "The Night Land" and Hodgson at [
