In a harbour town long ago, a boy is entranced by his uncle's stories of
adventure in lands far away. Ignoring the crazy talk of the harbour
pilot's son about the uncle being the Devil, the boy boards a ship with
his uncle. But the uncle soon makes enemies of the captain and crew and,
in frustration at their superstition, kills an albatross that has
befriended the ship. As the ship sails on, madness and death ensue, and
the boy and the crew face unimaginable horrors. A superbly gripping and
haunting tale for fans of all classic horror.
