looking for a perfectly frightening short read for Halloween?

In 1685, a merchant ship departed France for America with 240 sailors on board. Unknown to them, an evil witch stowed away.

There was only one survivor.

This is his story.

Atticus Montgomery is a broken man who lost a loving family and an idyllic life. Fleeing religious persecution and certain death in France, he gives up a promising future as a scholar to follow his grief and give in to his vices. The torn man ends up as a lowly crewman on a ship bound for the American colonies. But when she steps onboard, any life Atticus thought he controlled is over.

“I feel only that I am a monster, and that you are the only creature on God’s Earth who finds my monstrous nature beautiful.”

Gothic horror on the high seas. Dark, bloody, and unforgettable.
