Publisher's Synopsis
The Boats of the Glen Carrig is a horror novel written by William Hope Hodgson. The story follows a group of sailors who are shipwrecked on an unknown island after their vessel, the Glen Carrig, is destroyed by a mysterious underwater creature. The survivors encounter various dangers and obstacles as they attempt to find a way off the island, including hostile creatures, treacherous terrain, and supernatural forces. Along the way, they discover the remains of previous shipwrecked crews and uncover the dark secrets of the island. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the grotesque creatures and eerie landscapes encountered by the characters. It is a classic work of horror and adventure fiction, and is considered one of Hodgson's most notable works.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.
