This anthology contains the strangest nautical tales. These are not your typical ghost stories; rather, they walk the line between science, the supernatural, and the bizarre.

Rifts in time and space and even real life mysteries grace these pages. Table of Contents: The Voice in the Night From the Darkness and the Depths The Sea Fit Man Overboard!
