An entertaining, almost Lovecraftian, tale about a visit to a derelict ship that turns out to have a few surprises aboard. ( ) (1912) Loved this one! After a ship is blown off course in a storm, a derelict ghost ship is revealed, drifting in the distance. After completing their necessary repairs to their own vessel, the sailors set off in a longboat to investigate. They're curious, of course, but also hoping for lost treasure. Unfortunately, what they find is in no way anything like what they were hoping for. Vivid, tense, and also pretty disgusting. I kept picturing this one getting told by a portside tavern's fireplace... aucune critique | ajouter une critique

He produced a large body of work, consisting of essays, short fiction, and novels, spanning several overlapping genres including horror, fantastic fiction and science fiction. Early in his writing career he dedicated effort to poetry, although few of his poems were published during his lifetime. He also attracted some notice as a photographer and achieved some renown as a bodybuilder. He began a four-year apprenticeship as a cabin boy in 1891. In 1899, he opened W. H.
