The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" by William Hope Hodgson
"The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig'" by William Hope Hodgson is a horror novel published in 1907. Written in archaic style as a firsthand account from 1757, it follows survivors of a shipwreck who escape in two lifeboats. Their desperate journey takes them through nightmarish landscapes: muddy shores haunted by strange cries, abandoned vessels harboring deadly secrets, and blood-draining creatures lurking in darkness. Stranded on mysterious islands amid a vast Sargasso Sea,
the men face monstrous threats while struggling to repair their damaged boat and survive. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
