About this audiobook
Experience a hallucinatory journey that begins in a remote Irish manor and expands to encompass the end of the solar system. A recluse defends his home against swine-like monstrosities from a pit, only to be swept up in a vision of cosmic time travel that witnesses the death of the sun. The novel bridges the gap between gothic horror and science fiction, offering a staggering depiction of deep time and the insignificance of humanity. It is a visionary work that influenced generations of writers with its scope and terrifying imagination.
