In the wilderness of Western Ireland, on the very edge of a bottomless abyss, rise the ruins of a quaint old mansion. What dark secret is hidden in the diary of the old hermit, found in this house on the border of the worlds?.. The sun went out, and now legends tell about the days of light. The remnants of humanity take refuge from the creatures of nightmares in a colossal metal pyramid, but their end is near - the night that has shrouded the lands and souls is too hopeless. And into this darkness a lonely warrior goes - he goes in search of the one he loved once before... or will love sometime in the future... Sailor, bodybuilder, photographer, military man, writer and poet, one of the brightest and most original authors of early science fiction , who had the greatest influence on the work of H. P. Lovecraft, highly valued by C. E. Smith, C. S. Lewis, A. Derleth and L. Carter and many other masters - all this is William Hope Hodgson!
