Sinossi
ONDE TUMULTUOSE STRITOLANO I NAVIGANTI.
MOSTRI MARINI RISALGONO DAGLI ABISSI.
L’ORRORE AGITA LE ACQUE PIÙ PROFONDE.
Quando calano le tenebre e il vento si spegne, un cupo richiamo attraversa i flutti. Piovre giganti lacerano i corpi dei marinai, trascinati nei fondali più oscuri. Relitti di antiche navi affiorano tra le alghe del Mar dei Sargassi, presagi di una fine ineluttabile. Un’isola fantasma vaga per gli oceani catturando i naufraghi, prigionieri di un limbo che la morte stessa rifugge.
Profondo raccoglie i migliori racconti sugli abissi, nutrendo quella morbosa attrazione per l’immensità oceanica e insieme l’angoscia di una rotta senza salvezza. Nove racconti per cedere alle lusinghe dell’ignoto e lasciarsi sedurre dal fascino sinistro del mare.

Overall, a pretty good anthology. Completely my aesthetic - weird early 20th century stories about the sea. It started pretty strongly, but got a bit lost halfway through, and the stories felt a bit same-y. Also, a lot of them weren’t that scary. Maybe they were more so in their contemporary period, Leggi tutto
