Book Review: Dark Voyage by Helen Susan Swift (Tales from the Dark Past Book 1)

Dark Voyage: Horror And Mystery On The Arctic Seas (Tales From The ...     When a ship is discovered in a glacier that found it's way into Dundee's port it is immediately a temporary safe-haven for the two young people who had been fishing and were caught during a storm. As there was a thick fog they decided to investigate the ship and found a log that told us what happened to that ship almost 90 years prior. Witches, superstition, curses, and sailing are never things that should be crossed, but how much of it is the fiction of a delirious mind and how much of it was actually supernatural?
     You just have to love a good ghost ship that is willing to tell her tales. Lady Belady was one such vessel who offered her story to anyone willing to read the good doctor's words. There is everything you could desire in a ghost ship and more. You feel familiar with the locations, such as Gass Skerry, even if you have never heard of them before and are just as keen as the surgeon to know what happened there. The author will have you bouncing between believing it is all superstitious prattle of the pre World War 2 sailors and fact that these men had to contend with.
     If you like a good ghost story and betrayal is your forte then please pick up this book. It is one I will recommend and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. Even the bit of mystery left just for the reader at the end! This book is available on Amazon for $2.99 or with Kindle Unlimited at https://amzn.to/3gO6Mpm.
