From the Depths and Other Strange Tales of the Sea
by Mike Ashley
3.5 stars
Because I love the sea and everything adjacent, this was one of the Weird Tales collections I was most excited about. Well, it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. The maritime lingo wore me out and the stories started bleeding into each other, but the good news is that a less interesting Weird Tales collection is still worth the read. Not so surprisingly, I enjoyed the action-packed sea creature stories the least, because I've always been partial to ghost ships.
Favorites:
No Ships Pass (1932) by Lady Eleanor Smith:
Echoes of Lost. I don't think I can say more without giving spoilers, but if you remember how the show ended, you know what I mean.
The Floating Forest (1909) by Herman Scheffauer:
Creepy, but also beautifully written and has gorgeous imagery.
Devereux’s Last Smoke (1907) by Izola Forrester:
A classic ghost story of revenge. Nothing revolutionary, but one of the best in this group.
