The Haunted Pampero (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

By William Hope Hodgson

You can outrun the storm, but you can't escape the wind that carries a ghost.

In this classic of maritime horror by William Hope Hodgson, the vast, isolating ocean becomes the arena for an unnerving encounter.

The Pampero is a notorious, violently cold wind that sweeps across the South American seas. But when a ship sails into this atmospheric maelstrom, the crew quickly realizes the danger isn't merely meteorological. There is something profoundly wrong with the storm--something spiritual and silently malicious that has attached itself to the ship.

This is not a tale of typical ghosts, but of the cosmic and environmental uncanny. Hodgson, a master of weird fiction and a former sailor, expertly channels the dread of isolation and the terror of facing an unknown entity whose presence is as vast and indifferent as the sea itself.

Prepare for a claustrophobic journey into the heart of a wind that refuses to die.
