Description The Night Land 4: The crashed starship and the Pomegranate of Immortality,
illustration for EMBRACE THE NIGHT, a story which will be published on the Night Land site next year.

The mistress of the House of Silence finds a tree in a crashed starship bearing a single fruit. Starship pilots eat the Pomegranate of Immortality to survive their thousand year journeys.

The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson is a very strange novel. It is the end of time, long after the sun has gone out. The last humans live in a gigantic pyramid, the Redoubt, assaulted by monsters that roam in the eternal night. Each level of the redoubt has its own culture.

The original novel is quite fascinating but almost unreadable. Other writers have written stories with the same background while artist are painting the Night Land. You find the Night Land site at [link]
Think of the Night Land as a kind of Cthulhu Mythos, inspiring modern writers and artists.
