I notice a lot of people in the comments particularly enjoyed story no 2, William Hope Hodgson's, A Voice In The Night. Therefore I wanted to reccomend that people read William Hope Hodgson's novel, The Boats of the Glen Carrig , the book that originally features the island of the grey fungus. It's my favourite lost at Sea horror adventure tale. The strange island lands and weird Sargasso seas the survivors in the boats of the Glen Carrig encounter are populated with monstrous dangers . It's a truly fantastic story and in Chapter 2 they come across " The land of Loneliness "which is a haunted low flat muddy island overgrown with a cabbage like shrubbery & occasional strange short trees of a fungal growth. It's a must read and I would love to hear Ian read it There is only a Libravox version on KZitem at the moment but it's not badly done if anyone is interested.

I'm fascinated with sea stories also. I recently read "H.M.S. Ulysses," by Alastair MacLean - it's about a British convoy to Murmansk during WWII. It's not horror, except, well, it is. Very, very good, and evidently quite true-to-life. I can barely fathom the level of heroism and courage required for that sort of journey.
