{"product_id":"2940012368874","title":"2 Extreme Nightmares: The Night Land and The Boats of the Glen Carrig","description":"This 1,000-plus page volume of nightmarish horror contains two terror\/ fantasy masterpieces by William Hope Hodgson, the man the great H.P. Lovecraft modeled his work after. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first novel is \"The Night Land,\" which is a classic horror novel first published in 1912. As a work of fantasy it belongs to the Dying Earth subgenre.\u003cbr\u003eThe importance of The Night Land was recognized by its later revival in paperback by Ballantine Books, which republished the work in two parts as the forty-ninth and fiftieth volumes of its celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in July, 1972.\u003cbr\u003eH. P. Lovecraft's essay \"Supernatural Horror in Literature\" describes the novel as \"one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second novel in this dual nightmare edition is \"The Boats of the 'Glen Garrig.'\" First published in 1907. Its importance was recognized in its later revival in paperback by Ballantine Books as the twenty-fifth volume of the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in February, 1971.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel is written in an archaic style, and is presented as a true account, written in 1757, of events occurring earlier. The narrator is a passenger who was traveling on the ship Glen Carrig, which was lost at sea when it struck \"a hidden rock.\" The story is about the adventures of the survivors, who escaped the wreck in two lifeboats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoats is primarily a survival and adventure story with elements of horror, in the form of monsters.Boats in its strong use of concrete detail evokes a lost world, and is also an interesting case study in human relationships and class mores, as the class distinctions between the narrator and the crew members are broken down by the shared situation they find themselves in, but are eventually re-established.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth stories are gems of horror and so much more.","brand":"Publisher of One","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078769361136,"sku":"2940012368874","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012368874_p0.jpg?v=1763567791","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012368874","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
