The Boats of the Glen Carrig

by William Hope Hodgson

A small boat of survivors drifts through a sea choked with strange growths and stranger creatures, uncertain whether they have found refuge or merely a slower way to be consumed. Hodgson had actually been a sailor, and the details of the sea itself are the most convincingly unsettling part of the book. Nature, here, is never simply scenery.
