Man Overboard

Man Overboard

by Francis Marion Crawford

In 'Man Overboard,' a storm on the schooner Helen B. Jackson leaves a crewmember missing. The crew suspects one of the twin Benton brothers vanished into the ocean, but unsettling occurrences suggest the missing brother's 'presence' remains aboard the vessel. The narrative unfolds with a growing sense of unease as the crew grapples with the supernatural elements intertwined with the mystery of the missing man. The book explores themes of loss, grief, and the haunting presence of the unseen, as the line between reality and the otherworldly blurs on the ship.
