Weird Tales Sea Voyage Terrors

Last time our brochure we suggested a lovely holiday on a sandy beach somewhere tropical. But what if you don’t want to leave the boat at all? Here are a dozen fun Weird Tales boating excursions for those who love to stay shipboard.

“The Temple” by H. P. Lovecraft (September 1925) Want a fun excursion? Then try our submarine ride. Make sure you check out all the sights including the temple. Ask about our specials on “The White Ship” and “Dagon” too.

“The Ghost Ship” by Arlton Eadie (February 1929) Want to meet women? Then nothing is better than a voyage on a ship. Just be careful. Not everyone plays nice.

“The Wreck of the Santa Ysabel” by H. Warner Munn (December 1930) Can’t stand the usual tourists? Then try a trip with werewolves! Life preservers are extra.

“The Red Sail” by Charles Hilan Craig (October 1931) Can’t be bothered to take a trip yourself. No problem. With a little reincarnation you can enjoy someone else’s drowning experience.

“Spawn of the Sea” by Donald Wandrei (May 1933) A trip at sea just isn’t complete without some interesting sea creatures. Please remember to keep your fingers to yourself.

“The Black, Dead Thing” by Frank Belknap Long (October 1933) offers all the comforts of a good sea voyage with that little extra you expect from “The Unique Outfitters”. Plenty of monkey demon action here. Also available as “Second Night Out”.

“The Ghouls of the Sea” by J. B. S. Fullilove (March 1934) Our guests love the boating experience so much some never leave. They get so tuckered out with all the fun they are practically like dead men…

“The Ship that Committed Suicide” by A. J. Mordtmann (March 1936) Tropics not for you? Then try the frosty climes of the Antarctic. Worried about exercise? Don’t be. You’ll get plenty when the ship turns over.

“The Ocean Ogre” by Dana Carroll (July 1937) Beware of imitations! Enjoyed Frank Belknap Long’s “The Ocean Leech” (January 1925)? Well, here are all the same tentacles for you to enjoy again. (Surprising our cruise director, Mr. Farnsworth, didn’t catch this one.)

“One-Man Boat” by Alice-Mary Schnirring (January 1943) Tired of crowds? Then a little alone time is what you need. Take a boat and head out on your own. What could go wrong?

“Ship-in-a Bottle” by P. Schuyler Miller (January 1945) Stuck at home. Wish you could go on vacation? Well, buy yourself a fun ship in a bottle. You might find yourself out on the waves sooner than you think.

“The Monkey Ship” by Garnett Radcliffe (March 1952) Have children? Then bring them along. Our excellent medical staff can handle all those sniffles and sneezes.
