Sometime this week (Jan. 1, 2012) I finished reading the horror novel "The Night Boat" authored by Robert R. McCammon and published in 1980. It is about a German U-Boat sunken toward the end of World War 2, and its crew of relentlessly evil Nazis. Thirty or more years after sinking to the bottom of the Caribbean, the miraculously intact sub is found. On the fictional island of Coquina people and animals start to disappear or perish in unspeakably horrible ways at the hands of the crew of what the islanders call "The Night Boat", who drowned decades ago in a nearly forgotten war. This was a very enjoyable read as a horror fiction enthusiast. If you enjoy the works of such authors as: Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, or similar authors the eerie books of Robert R. McCammon are also worth checking out. Another excellent book penned by McCammon was the scary vampire novel "They Thirst" published some time in the eighties or nineties.
