The Boats Of The Glen Carrig

""The Boats of the Glen Carrig"" is a novel written by William Hope Hodgson, first published in 1907. The story follows the adventures of a group of sailors who become shipwrecked on a mysterious island after their vessel, the Glen Carrig, is wrecked by a giant octopus. The island is home to strange and terrifying creatures, including a race of amphibious beings known as the Weed Men, who are hostile to the humans. The sailors must fight for survival as they navigate the treacherous waters and attempt to escape the island. The novel is a blend of horror, adventure, and fantasy, and is considered a classic of early 20th century literature. It has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the island and its creatures, as well as its imaginative storytelling.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.
