Really enjoyed this story. It was lovecraftian in nature and the reader is one of the most excellent ones I have come across! He really brought the story to life!
Great Adventure
David Schultz
T This book should be made into a movie! It's is a great take tale of the unknown doldrums and high seas adventure. Hodgson adds twists to this story leaving you wondering what will happen next, yet doing so with great sensibility.

a nautical tale with a twist
bahamajohn08
very interesting old world tale of survival at sea and land. It kept my interest all the way through. It is very well read and with a touch fixed statement where necessary.
this book is one of the greatest...

nautical tales of adventure, bravery, and spooky unknowns. the Reader did a fine job. thank you, Librivox & Jason Mills, for a fun story I hope to listen to again.
Times
Crikey!
At times it read like "Treasure Island" with worse characterization, and at times it felt like "Dagon" with less suspense, but at times it sang with Hodgson's creativity.
Made the hairs on my arm stand on end

A great take of horror read by a great reader. This is a seriously creepy tale
Gerard Kelly
I very much enjoyed this novella due in no small part to the excellence of the narration.
