The Boats Of The Glen Carrig (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169250345)

""The Boats of the Glen Carrig"" is a horror/fantasy novel written by William Hope Hodgson. The story follows the journey of a small group of survivors who are shipwrecked on a mysterious island after their vessel, the Glen Carrig, is destroyed by an unknown force. As they struggle to survive in this strange and dangerous land, they encounter a variety of terrifying creatures and supernatural phenomena. The group must band together and use their wits and strength to navigate the treacherous waters and make their way back to civilization. Along the way, they uncover dark secrets about the island and its inhabitants, and must confront their deepest fears and darkest desires. The novel is a classic example of early 20th-century horror literature, featuring vivid descriptions of the unknown and the macabre. It is a must-read for fans of horror, fantasy, and adventure fiction.In a little, we crept both of us so close to the door as the chests would allow, and there we crouched, listening; but could not tell what manner of thing it might be which produced so strange a noise. For it was neither shuffling, nor treading of any kind, nor yet was it the whirr of a bat's wings, the which had first occurred to me, knowing how vampires are said to inhabit the nights in dismal places.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
