About this book

"The old ship, the *Mortzestus*, is beset by mysterious phenomena - - shadowy figures emerging from the sea, men hurled from aloft by invisible hands and the vessel itself seemingly trapped in a world of mist. The horrors reach a climax when ghost pirates swarm aboard to sink the ship and only one man survives to tell the story." - - Description by Peter Haining, in "A Century of Ghost Novels 1900 - 2000" (Appendix to his book, The Mammoth Book of Modern Ghost Stories)

About Unknown Author

William Hope Hodgson (15 November 1877 – 19 April 1918) was an English author. 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. Hodgson used his experiences at sea to lend authentic detail to his short horror stories, many of which are set on the ocean, including his series of linked tales forming the "Sargasso Sea Stories". His novels, such as *The House on the Borderland* (1908) and *The Night Land* (1912), feature more cosmic themes, but several of his novels also focus on horrors associated with the sea. Early in his writing career Hodgson dedicated effort to poetry, although few of his poems were published during his lifetime. He also attracted some notice as a photographer and achieved renown as a bodybuilder. He died in World War I at age 40. **Source**: [William Hope Hodgson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hope_Hodgson) on Wikipedia.
