William Hope Hodgson was one of the finest writers to ver write horror. This tightly plotted novel is both compelling and terrifying. Do not read this one alone on a foggy night. The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power. - H.P. Lovecraft

About the Author William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was a British author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. He loved to blend genres, and some of his novels are now considered classics in the literature of the fantastic. The House on the Borderland, and The Night Land, in particular are still well-loved, and The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig' is a forgotten gem of the fantastic. He was killed by an artillery shell in World War I.

100 of 103 people found the following review helpful. Good Old Fashioned Ghost Story By L. McKelvy The Ghost Pirates was entertaining and holds up incredibly well for its age; I'm actually a bit surprised it has not received an update as a screenplay as it would translate well into a period horror movie. I downloaded this because it was free and fell into the horror genre. I was not disappointed and it is well worth the read. No blood and guts, but plenty of death and supernatural occurrences in the Nautical/Gothic sense. It is written in first-person, and is filled with archaic nautical terms which the Kindles dictionary handles quite nicely (for the most part).I don't give away detailed plot points in my reviews, but in a nutshell this is a story about a sailor who takes a job on a reputedly haunted ship. It follows the basic formula of disbelief and isolation, followed by a group realization that something is not quite right. Appropriately creepy, it reminds me of something one might hear from The Chowder Society (if you are unfamiliar with that group, read Ghost Story by Peter Straub).
45 of 46 people found the following review helpful. Very good story By Terri Haines I also only downloaded this book because it was free and ended up really liking it. I didn't expect such an old story to be very scary, but the story is pretty frightening. The imagery is compelling. Once you get in the mindset of the time period and the ship location, the story unfurls quickly. After reading this one, I looked up the author's other books for Kindle (there are several) and discovered some are weirder than others, but they all kept my attention and made me think about what would come next in the plot. My only complaint is that the story wasn't longer!
26 of 27 people found the following review helpful. Gripping By M. T. Bowers This short (1719 locations) novel grabbed me right away and didn't let go until I'd finished it. It is genuinely creepy, and probably shouldn't be read alone in a creeky old house during a midnight thunderstorm. Unless you like that kind of thing. There is a lot of technical nautical detail, but I didn't find it annoying; it just gave the author street (sea?) cred, as far as I was concerned. I can't help thinking that the writers for the movie Pirates of the Caribbean (Black Pearl) might've read this as kids, only the atmosphere in The Ghost Pirates is much more deadly.For free -- why not?
