Nearly everyone loves scary stories, and what’s creepier than abruptly confronting the unknown while out alone in the middle of the ocean where you’re likely to be hundreds of miles from any assistance? Imagine ghostly schooners silently appearing through the fog on a calm, moonlit night; or eerie derelict ships—like the Mary Celeste—that for some mysterious reason were suddenly abandoned by their crews; or weird phantoms crawling up over the railings and onto the decks searching for victims to drag down into the deep.

This fascinating collection of nautical nightmares is sure to horrify sea travelers and landlubbers alike. It features a diverse selection which highlights the remarkable talents of such famous authors as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe.

With tales of strange shipwrecks on dark, stormy nights, ships that are haunted by terrible ghosts and bloody misdeeds from the past, and, of course, the doomed Flying Dutchman which is cursed to sail the seas forever, it's the perfect book for late night reading—especially if you’re becalmed at sea.
