William Hope Hodgson 2 hr 49 min read

After the good ship Glen Carrig founders on a hidden rock, her boats carry the survivors into strange and terrible places of the earth, a tale set down, in 1757, by John Winterstraw, Gent.

William Hope Hodgson's 1907 novel is a classic of nautical horror and weird adventure. Atmospheric, dread-soaked, superbly told. Read it for a landmark of the sea-horror tradition, castaways adrift among weed-choked seas, monstrous things, and lands where nightmare walks, from a master of maritime terror.
