Summary
 The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson.
"The Ghost Pirates" by William Hope Hodgson is a horror novel published in 1909. Told as the testimony of Jessop, sole survivor of the doomed ship Mortzestus, the story chronicles strange events that escalate in frequency and terror. Mysterious beings—never clearly described—gradually commandeer the vessel as the crew struggles between disbelief and mounting dread. Hodgson leaves their true nature ambiguous, suggesting they may be ghosts or entities from another dimension that has breached into our world, though their origin and purpose remain unexplained.Copyright Popular Culture and Religion.

    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.
