Fearsome Island

Fearsome Island

by Albert Kinross

Fearsome Island, a tale purportedly based on the real experiences of Silas Fordred, a Hythe sailor, chronicles his shipwreck on an uncharted island. There, he encounters a witch, a hairy man, and a series of devilish devices and traps. The author, Albert Kinross, claims to have obtained Fordred's account from Hythe Town Hall, but the line between reality and fabrication remains blurred. The book presents a mix of supernatural occurrences, nautical adventure, and a touch of mystery, leaving the reader to ponder the truth behind Fordred's experiences.
