William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) is acknowledged as one of the undisputed masters of the sea story. This is the first time a collection of his finest short stories have been brought together in one volume.Hodgson's sea stories have an unusual authenticity, owing to his having spent eight years at sea, where the experience of mistreatment, poor conditions, and worse food was only abated by his immeasurable fascination with the sea and all its glory. This unique collection will bring readers face to face with some of the most exciting and dramatic sea tales ever put to paper - from fantastic and terrible creatures to the ever-changing mood of the powerful seas.
