Opis

A memorial. A relic. The greatest ocean liner to sail the Atlantic. The true treasures of the "RMS Titanic": passengers and crew, victims and survivors, trapped in that brief moment when the world's tallest building, its most luxurious hotel, and its grandest expression of wealth "could walk on water." In 100 years, the "RMS Titanic" has only gotten bigger. But there is a forgotten treasure of the Titanic, a spirit, a precious memory that was ignored, and then lost. But out of the icy darkness, it returns. And with it, so do her ghosts. Collecting a half dozen stories of the uncanny, the improbable and the unreal, "Tales of the Haunted Titanic" shares the ghostly alternate history of the Unsinkable and the Unthinkable. Some stories include: A mystery surrounds the funeral of one of the survivors, and the only clue is provided by one of the victims. As a talented embalmer begins to draw bodies from the deep, a body draws him into the depths. One survivor is unaccounted for: a song which outlives its performers. A bankrupt aristocrat follows a dark trail of revenge to Boiler Room Number 6. A giant of the deep rouses from a ghostly slumber, taking a chance to make history at history's end. Collecting: "Titanic Rising" "On Jack Thayer's Watch" "The Autumn Ice of Springtime" "The Unsinkable Supernatant" "Pronouncing the Mackay-Bennett," and Introducing: "The Giant, Ben Guggenheim," a new story exclusive to "Tales of the Haunted Titanic."
