Being on a ship is usually very safe. The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable. A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world. Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm. But worse? No, not really possible, is it?

In this volume our authors beg to differ. They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be. Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.
