![]() Humanity still survives in this land of eternal night, however, because of a mystical source of energy known as the Earth-Current. The story is set in a far, distant future, one so incredibly distant that the Sun has burned out, as have in fact all stars in the sky. The Night Land is one of Hodgson’s handful of novels, and is worth a mention not just because of its haunting imagery but also because its premise is relevant to an overarching theme of the weird fiction of the early 1900’s. I remember seeing this film numerous times on Sunday morning ‘Creature Features’. This tale was much later adapted into the Japanese horror movie Matango, more commonly known as The Attack of the Mushroom People. The story The Voice in the Night, for instance, concerns a couple shipwrecked on an island whose only occupant is a corrupting fungus. ![]() He wrote numerous short stories about the sea and its horrors. Hodgson (1877-1918) was a colorful character who turned to weird fiction late in life after, among other things, working as a sailor. One of these is William Hope Hodgson’s The Night Land. There are a number of classic works of weird fantasy and horror which have been lost from the mainstream but are well worth a look. ![]()

![]() That was really putting it up to Thomas Davis but they produced a strong finish to register 1-3 without reply, the points coming from Guilfoyle (2) and Ryan Deegan as they emerged victorious in this entertaining encounter. Paddy Kiernan, back in action for Emmet Og this season after spending some time in Australia, was the driving force at midfield alongside Longford regular Ryan Moffett as Killoe came storming back from four points down to take the lead in the 52nd minute after Mark Hughes shot over the bar. 1-11Ĭrucial goals proved to be the decisive factor in the cracking final at the Johnstownbridge GAA grounds, Co Kildare on Thursday evening and the matchwinning score for Thomas Davis (Tallaght) came from a penalty converted by the ever dangerous full-forward Conor Guilfoyle in the first minute of stoppage time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hawkeye's Bow (First appearance) (Cameo).House of Loki, Nico Minoru, and America Chavez.Weirdworld (Illusion, hallucination or holographic simulation).New Xandar (Illusion, hallucination or holographic simulation).Arthrosians (Illusion, hallucination or holographic simulation) (Cameo).Black Panther (T'Challa) (First and only known appearance) (Cameo).Ultimate Thor (Thunderer Thorlief) (Illusion, hallucination or holographic simulation) (Cameo).Annihilus (Illusion, hallucination or holographic simulation) (Cameo).God Emperor Doom (Victor von Doom) (Mentioned).Thor (Peter Rasputin) (First appearance).Spider-Girl (Anya Corazón) (First and only known appearance).Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) (First appearance).White Queen (Emma Frost) (First appearance).Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) (First appearance). ![]() Squirrel Girl (Doreen Green) (First and only known appearance).Someone let in the monster that cost us America Chavez.
