Today is my birthday and I am excited to provide a link to another fine classic horror short story from 1800-1849. Like the 40th best, this one also happens at sea. As announced in my last post, it was penned by William Harrison Ainsworth in 1823 and contained in his December Tales collection. It is his only short horror story that made the Top 40 for this time period. The title is The Mutiny and in it, there is plenty of blood chilling horror to spread around. The quote at the beginning is killer and sets a great tone for the story. It was republished in 1827, 1828 and 1830 in popular magazines of the day. Enjoy while I go eat birthday cake!
