The Upper Berth edition by F Marion Crawford Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A ghost story on a boat. Brilliantly executed, but yes, a tad anti-climactic.
Here’s a seafarer’s yarn that is eerie and ghostly. There is a lot of nautical terms, but that shouldn’t turn off the reader, since it is all pretty much well-known terms, terms the reader and decipher or research.
It’s an OK story, but I’m not going overboard with it.
I'm used to older horror stories being lackluster, compared to modern standards, but this was actually pretty enjoyable. A frequent ship traveler finds himself in a berth whose porthole keeps opening. At first he blames his cabin-mate, but soon learns that strange happenings are common around the room.
While the trope of a haunted room is common, I didn't feel like I was able to predict this story too much. It was simple, yes, but I still enjoyed it.
I listened to the free audio production from Librivox.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, F. Marion Crawford was one of the most prolific, widely-read novelists of the English-speaking world--a sort of Sidney Sheldon of the Edwardian world. Now, his novels are banished to the musty corner of old-fashioned romance and historical fiction, but his supernatural tales live on, most especially "The Upper Berth" and "The Screaming Skull."
In "The Upper Berth"--A business traveler who makes many Atlantic crossings secures a berth on the 'Kamchatka,' bound for Liverpool. He secures a room with a double bunk and is disappointed to learn that he will have a roommate in the upper berth. The first night of the voyage, his roommate runs screaming out of the small room and throws himself overboard. The business traveler learns that three other men who booked into room 105 have killed themselves in the same fashion, and he is determined to investigate.

This is a classic horror short story by F Marion Crawford.

I find a lot of older "horror" to be really dull. This is truly an exception. The book is very descriptive and eerie, and still contains a lot of action.
