The Voice in the Night

A short story by William Hope Hodgson first published in 1907, and adapted numerous times to movies and TV. It was a dark and starless night when a schooner becalmed in the Northern Pacific is a approached by a rowboat whose occupant although nonthreatening refuses to be seen. We find out who this hideous appearing creature is, and how he and his fiancée came to be marooned on an island inhabited by a strange fungus.

A classic chilling tale delivered masterfully.

A influential story of horror that I stumbled upon and realized its impact. This will be up there with Dunwhich Horror and other Lovecraftian tales.
