The Night That Finds Us All

De: John Hornor Jacobs

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

A troubled sailor. A hundred-year-old sailboat. An ancient curse. Welcome to award-winning author John Hornor Jacobs’ nautical nightmare.

It begins and ends as always, with the sea.

Sam Vines is struggling. Her boat is up on the hard and she doesn’t have enough money to get her back in the water. Turns out the snorkelers and the scubadivers are looking for the ultra-luxury boating experience, not the single-handed, rarely sober, snarky stylings of sailboat captain Samantha Vines. So it’s a good thing when her former crewmate Loick asks her to help deliver a massive, hundred-year-old sailboat from Seattle to England. Sam is the only one who can handle the ship’s engine, and did Loick mention that the money is good? It’s very good.

The Blackwatch is a huge boat. An ancient boat. It’s also probably (definitely) haunted.

Sam’s alcohol withdrawal (sobriety is important at sea) has her doubting her senses, but when one crewmate disappears and another has a gruesome accident, she knows that this simple delivery job has spiraled into something sinister.

By turns terrifying, darkly funny, thought-provoking, and heartfelt, The Night That Finds Us All is a seductive, nautical nightmare.

Awesome Seafaring Cosmic Horror

The writing is so immersive and captivating and the characters are well done, so it was easy for me to fall straight into this book! The performance is excellent and the story gives you creeps and apple gore without overdoing it. Really enjoyed this!

Hoist the sails! We’re casting off

A fun maritime horror story. I enjoyed the swashbuckling atmosphere and the modern twist on the seven seas
