“No other writer so effectually carries his readers down to the sea in ships, and even in steamers he never fails to give us the true salt atmosphere.... ‘The Lazarette of the Huntress’ is undoubtedly one of the most exciting tales ever written by a past-master in the art of thrilling his readers, while the other ten yarns are all thoroughly interesting.”—MANCHESTER COURIER. This is a book of remarkable nautical ghost and horror stories written by William Clark Russell in 1893. The stories are for the most part set on ships and bring the reader on board for ghostly nights, wonderful sights, and strange occurrences.
