1979 science fiction novel by K. W. Jeter
Cover art by Josh Kirby
Morlock Night is a science fiction novel by American writer K. W. Jeter. It was published in 1979.[1] In a letter to Locus Magazine in April 1987, Jeter coined the word "steampunk" to describe it and other novels by James Blaylock and Tim Powers.
Morlock Night uses the ideas of H. G. Wells in which the Morlocks of Wells' 1895 novella The Time Machine themselves use the device to travel back into the past and menace Victorian London. King Arthur and Merlin appear as England's saviors.
