“The Dream of X”

Edited by

William Hope Hodgson

(Note:—The charred fragments of “The Dream of X” were discovered in an iron box, after the burning of his ancient country residence at Z., where he had lived many years alone after the death of his wife, the “Mirdath” mentioned in the following pages. Through these fragments, which I as Editor have striven to piece and unify into a comprehensible “whole,” we get glimpses of a stupendous Dream of the Future of this World, and of X’s imagined or real meeting with his wife again in that far off age, with a new name and a new body; but possessed of the olden soul of the woman whom he had plainly loved so madly.)
