William Hope Hodgson's "The Boats of the Glen Carrig" is the twenty-first installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. An early classic of adventure and horror! "Being an account of their Adventures in the Strange places of the Earth, after the foundering of the good ship Glen Carrig through striking upon a hidden rock in the unknown seas to the Southward. As told by John Winterstraw, Gent., to his son James Winterstraw, in the year 1757, and by him committed very properly and legibly to manuscript." The above text is the original introduction to William Hope Hodgson's "The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig.' " This grand tale is an early classic of fantasy, horror, and adventure. It tells the story of the survivors of a ship lost at sea and their subsequent adventures into lost realms of unearthly beings and deep sea monstrosities. It is one of the strangest sea-faring horror tales ever told and was admired greatly by horror fiction legend, H. P. Lovecraft.
