While not much of the information actually made it into the story, I spent several months researching the Titanic, its construction, the voyage, and the disaster. A lot of it was the era in which is was built, but it really was quite remarkable how many references I found in the whole undertaking to the devil. I know how superstitious sailors and those that rely upon the ocean for a living can be, and a lot of that played into the rumors surrounding the Titanic. Ironically enough, I've recently run across one demonic rumor in my research into the London Underground that involves the Titanic I never saw while I was doing my original research for this novella. It has to do with a cursed mummy (though I have yet to read about one that isn't) that was supposedly bought by an American and shipped in the Titanic's hold. The mummy is the reason the ship sank. The mummy is also said to haunt / roam the disused British Museum station. The mummy and sarcophagus are both on display ...

Writing in the first person has limited advantages when it comes to telling a story. To be honest, I'm not even sure what Sam's last name is. This particular voice is limited, but it's a good way for the author to keep secrets. And there is a big secret in this novella but, as River Song would say, "spoilers". For me, at least, I prefer third person for writing almost any story I work on, with an exception we'll get to in good time. As I feel more like I was told this particular story, I had to tell it in the format it was given to me in. As I mentioned, it was planned to have two books in this one - the story from each of Sam and Jeffrey's POV - and Sam was happy enough to share his story with me, but Jeffrey never was. I suspect a large part of that has to do with some of the spoiler information, but I'm not positive. However, I did go through what I did write of the story from Jeffrey's POV and pulled out a few unknown tidbits that have eith...

Sam, a man who loves ships and stories, falls victim to a single recurring nightmare that ends the same way every night; in his death at the wreck of the Titanic. When he is sent there by his boss, he fears his fate has come to claim him. Instead, he meets the ghost a a man who traveled and died on the great ship that April night in 1912. Is Jeffrey all he really seems to be, and why does Sam feel so drawn to him? My first published work, a novella rather than a novel, though if I had been able to finish the story from Jeffrey's POV it might well have been a novel. Still, I really like how this one turned out in the end. I think the story has stood up well since I published it, though I may do a second edition with a bit from Jeffrey's POV one of these days. This story is unique amongst my works in two ways; it is told in the first person of an original character, and it is the only story I have ever written where I knew the ending - the last two chapters - before I knew t...

It's just a basic start, but here are seven quotes, one from each chapter that will not cause spoilers for the end of the novella. 1 - Struggling to climb into the small cramped space of the three-man brought back the Nightmare tenfold and beyond. The terror I felt shake my limbs almost caused me to lose my grip on the hatch and fall onto my pilot; my companion for the trip still behind me on the ladder awaiting the signal I was settled. 2 - It didn't seem real to me that I had been having a conversation with a man who died when the Titanic sank. 3 - And if he wanted me to help clear his name so he could rest in peace after so many years then I would do everything in my power to do it for him, even if it meant losing him. 4 - Then it hit me. An Internet blog. I could set it up under a fake name and publish my findings there every day. 5 - I dug through everything I'd downloaded the day before and found his email address and then stopped to actually think about wha...
