Publisher's Summary:
William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was an English author. He produced a large body of work including horror, fantastic fiction, and science fiction stories.
The Voice in the Night is an uncanny story about a ship becalmed in fog in the middle of the Pacific. In the night, the watch hears a voice hailing the ship. It would seem to be a lone man in a rowing boat, but the individual does not wish to be seen.
He is starving and urgently wants them to give him food - but despite this, he will not approach the ship and vehemently rejects the idea of being rescued. Instead they have to float some provisions out to him in a crate, which he takes off to a nearby island where his fiancée is dying of hunger. A few hours later he returns and tells a horrifying and incredible tale.

Seminal masterpiece of nautical mystery and fungal infestation.
Seminal masterpiece of nautical mystery and fungal infestation. The voice in the night speaks out to you through the mist, much like that mysterious fungal growth, it seeps into your brain, before it infiltrates your thoughts and takes over your dreams.
I read this bed-time story to my three-year-old kid, who is generally a very picky eater, and it got her to start eating mushrooms.
Not scary at all.
I bought this book because it was mentioned in another thriller I was reading and was noted to be very "scary". First, this book is barely a pamphlet in size and I guess what people thought was "scary" 100 years ago (when it was written) is not the same as what is "scary" today. It might have made a good story for The Twilight Zone in the 1960's.

WHH is an old fashioned writer, focusing on the intellectuals of his day, and spending most of his time writing stories with a touch of macabre or supernatural content.
If you liked more rambling
Human-consuming fungal growths on a deserted island begin taking over a marooned sailor and his wife. And the fungus looks tasty.
That's about it. It's a body horror tale, but the tempo isn't quite suited to modern audiences. If you liked more rambling, old-fashioned pieces, this would be fine, but I need something tighter.
This story is in the public domain, so you can find it free from many sources. I listened to the audio production from Tales to Terrify.
