About This Item
Synopsis
Three weeks into their voyage, the crew of the Mortzestus fear she is haunted. There are too many shadows throughout the ship, too many men upon the deck and strange shapes moving silently amongst the masts and rigging.A mist has fallen around the Mortzestus, causing it to flicker between our dimension and another – a dimension beyond understanding and rife with terror. And there is no way out.In this, his third novel, Hodgson completes the trilogy begun with The Boats Of The ‘Glen Carrig’ and The House On The Borderland, in which he explores the subtle gateways that lead from our reality to the unknown.The Ghost Pirates is a masterpiece of sustained and increasing horror and is one of the finest of all novels of the mysterious sea.
