The Ghost Pirates, a horror book by English author William Hope Hodgson, was first released in 1909. It is a compelling tale of a ship on its final trip that is haunted and doomed, as well as the dreadful sea monsters who besiege it and ultimately drag it to an unknowable conclusion. This work occasionally reaches enviable heights of power thanks to its command of marine knowledge and its deft use of clues and episodes suggestive of latent horrors in nature.
