Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns allegorical, visionary, and satirical, The City of Dreadful Night and Other Writings combines Thomson's poetic magnum opus with selections from his poetry and literary-critical, belletristic prose pieces, written for The Secular Review, National Reformer, and Cope's Tobacco Plant throughout the 1860s and 70s. Harrowing and musical in its nightmarish visions like "Insomnia" and in the title poem, wryly comic and philosophical in his prose essays, here is an unheralded voice of a Victorian generation, which came of age with the publicization of Darwin's findings, and saw humanity definitively condemned to a godless globe, descended from beasts.
