Horror Stories at Sea

by Victor Hugo, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Hope Hodgson

Overview

Being on a ship is usually very safe. The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable. A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world. Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm. But worse? No, not really possible, is it?

In this volume our authors beg to differ. They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be. Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.

About the Author

"If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away," the larger-than-life Victor Hugo once confessed. Indeed, this 19th-century French author's books — from the epic drama Les Misérables to the classic unrequited love story The Hunchback of Notre Dame — have spanned the ages, their themes of morality and redemption as applicable to our times as to his.
