The Meridian Log (Aldred Gothic, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"The sea is very fine this morning. I intend to go above. The air will do me good. I think—"
The diary of Captain Edmund Vane, master of the brig Perseverance, covers ninety-seven entries across the year 1712. It begins with the precision of a competent man and ends in a locked cabin with no one inside.

What happened in between is a matter of record.

The record cannot be trusted.

Written entirely as a ship captain's private journal, The Meridian Log is a novel of psychological horror set during the Golden Age of Piracy. As Vane's account of his voyage begins to contradict itself — the dates slipping, the crew thinning, the coastline appearing where no coastline should be — the reader is left to do what the narrator cannot: determine what actually happened.

A novel designed to be read twice. The truth is in the text from the first page.
