Quando calano le tenebre, e il buio si fonde con l'abisso, l'oceano rivela il suo volto mostruoso. Creature deturpate, un tempo umane, si aggirano inquiete per i mari in cerca di una nave che le accolga. Il relitto di un veliero chiama a sé incauti marinai, destinati a un'agonia senza salvezza. Urla strazianti si mischiano a fischi di demoni, capaci di risvegliare incubi ancestrali. Maestro del racconto gotico, Hope Hodgson esplora i limiti dell'esperienza umana, tra l'impossibilità di conoscere la natura e l'ossessione per orrori indicibili. Cinque racconti per abbandonare i porti sicuri della razionalità e immergersi nelle acque conturbanti dell'ignoto.
