    About this ebook

    • This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The sea as the origin of horror, an indispensable mark of William Hope Hodgson's literature

    Originally published in 1909, “The Ghost Pirates” is a compelling and terrifying horror novel by English writer William Hope Hodgson. Hodgson is considered by many to be one of the best authors to ever write horror.

    “The Ghost Pirates” is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power. - H.P. Lovecraft

    Author

    William Hope Hodgson

    William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was a British author and poet best known for his works of macabre fiction. Early experience as a sailor gave resonance to his novels of the supernatural at sea, The Ghost Pirates and The Boats of the Glen-Carrig, but The House on the Borderland and The Night Land are often singled out for their powerful depiction of eerie, otherworldly horror. The author was a man of many parts, a public speaker, photographer and early advocate of bodybuilding. He was killed in action during the Battle of the Lys in the First World War.
