Sinossi
È l'oceano il teatro di questa incredibile avventura in cui i protagonisti affrontano eroicamente pericoli e fatiche in una lotta disperata contro forze oscure e ancestrali che generano visioni spaventose, riflesso degli abissi più tenebrosi della psicologia umana. John Winterstraw, anni dopo essere scampato al naufragio della Glen Carrig nel Mar dei Sargassi, decide di narrare le terribili avventure vissute a bordo di due scialuppe alla deriva. Hodgson, con il suo immaginario suggestivo, crea con maestria un'atmosfera di suspense che coinvolge il lettore in un romanzo appassionante e avvincente, diventato un classico della letteratura fantastica e di mare.

In The Boats of the ‘Glen Carrig’ there is a perfect demonstration of the mash-up elements (science fiction, fan Leggi tutto
Though the writing is a bit rusty and crusted with sea salt at times, Hodgson's first novel is a sustained work of unrelenting terror that is a direct ancestor of Tim Curran's DEAD SEA. This is an excursion into the big unknown, filled with unimaginable horrors that the suthor never slows down to ex Leggi tutto
А тази книжка от кога я чакам да излезе на български, не е истина. И очакванията ми се оправдаха на 100%. В малкото страници Ходжсън преплита изключително умело една робинзониада с космически ужас. Свръхестествения елемент беше първо изтръпващо загатнат, а после – брутално натурален. Корабната темати Leggi tutto
Starts out great (and weird). It's an unusual book that gets you thinking about Dante's Inferno , Roger Corman's Attack of the Crab Monsters , Poe's Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym , and Lovecraft (of course). All of that said, I wish Hodgson had cast this as a long short story. About the midway point I Leggi tutto
