Why does nobody ever talk about the night land?
>>
Because it was edited by a blind chimpanzee and written by an autist

I've heard it has impenetrably dense prose.

Lol no. It's just bad

The setting sounds cool, but based on what I've seen of the faux archaic prose, it'd probably be a real chore for me to get through. I did read The House On The Borderland, which I enjoyed enough but not totally.
>And it grew in me that I did act weakly to hold off from mine Vittles, and showed foolishness before my kind friend afar; and I did ope my scrip, and take therefrom three tablets, the which I chewed and did eat; for this was a strong food, treated that it had but small bulk. Yet were they not filling to the belly; and I made that I would drink well, that I might feel that something was therein.
>And to this end, I shook from a strong and especial tube, a dust; and I caught the dust within a little cup; and the air did make an action upon that dust, as it were of chemistry; and the dust did boil and make a fizzing in the cup, and rose up and filled it with a liquid that was of simple water; yet very strange to see come that way; but ordinary after a time.

Somebody wrote a "plain english" version of it I believe. Might have been a fa/tg/uy, I saw them talking about it over there anyway

>>24687713
I mean, that ain't so bad. Just gotta look up a few words :)

The words aren't difficult. It's the feeling that I'm trapped at a Renaissance Fair.

Permuting adjective on noun would create a decent fantasy world.

listened to the audiobook, which was enjoyable, but I'm not gonna read that many pages of archaisms about how many food pills he ate or how naughty and sweet his wife/gf is on the return journey. maybe the abridged version is good.

This is just a stereotyped map of Great Britain with a little bit of whirl and pinch applied to the southeast.

This is just a stereotyped map of postcolonial Africa with the Biblical levant on the east side of the map.
