The Ghost Pirates (Annotated)

William Hope Hodgson

Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The sea as the origin of horror, an indispensable mark of William Hope Hodgson's literature


Originally published in 1909, “The Ghost Pirates” is a compelling and terrifying horror novel by English writer William Hope Hodgson. Hodgson is considered by many to be one of the best authors to ever write horror.

“The Ghost Pirates” is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power. - H.P. Lovecraft
