You get extra points for Sea Monsters. If you've not yet done so, you'll be wanting to read Stephen Laws' The End Of The Pier in Terror Tales Of The Ocean. |

ah this thread was exactly what I was looking for in my quest for nautical horror - I knew the vault wouldn't let me down!

Warren Armstrong – A Phantom of the SeasBlurb: The oceans have long been places of danger, mystery and horror. From ancient times there has been the terror that a trip might lead to edge of the world and the nameless place beyond its edge. There have been the strange lights of St. Elmo’s Fire. The sunken cities of Atlantis and Lyonesse. The Sargasso sea entrapping ships. The Bermuda Triangle. And within the ocean’s depths sea creatures both real and unreal. The great white whale in Moby Dick and the giant octopus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The oceans beckon us… and repel us. And storytellers have used the sea as a basis for ghost and horror stories down the centuries. In this anthology there are stories about phantom ships and their phantom sailors, weird encounters with spirits, a vengeful sea sprites, and sea serpents, and all manner of horror below decks. So, readers, take a passage with us to the weird realms of the benighted oceans! |

 Maelo Cintron: ( Nightmare #16, Skywald, Dec. 1973). A hideous sea creature sets to crushing, snapping and maiming a party of boating children off Damnation Island. Old Martin Emglon, the village crypt-keeper, is torn between fetching help or staying put so he won't miss anything exciting. |

Have just acquired this one. Looks hopeful and currently well placed at Number 4,851 on my "to be read" list (sigh)....  |
