Scary Tales from the Black Ship

For three days, a storm rages along the coast. The «Old Inn», where Ethan and Katie live, clings to the edge of a cliff. Their father went to fetch a doctor, and the children are alone until the storm brings... a stranger to their home. He is a master storyteller of sea tales, each scarier than the last. Ethan and Katie are ready to listen to them endlessly. Only their father should have returned long ago. And the night drags on and on, as if it truly has no end...
