A Ghost from the Sea | J. E. Preston Muddock | A Bitesized Audio Production

Fleeing from a gruesome crime in 1850s Melbourne, at the height of the Australian gold rush, Mr and Mrs Jackson take passage on a clipper bound for England. But as the ship reaches the stormy seas off Cape Horn they find the past isn't so easily left behind... James Edward Preston Muddock (1843–1934) was an incredibly prolific author who published stories of horror and mystery under several pseudonyms, including as 'Dick Donovan', the name of his most popular fictional detective. Although largely forgotten today, at his peak in the 1890s his stories rivalled those of Conan Doyle in popularity, and were frequently published in The Strand Magazine (where the character of Dick Donovan was one of the most successful contemporary "rivals" of Sherlock Holmes). The original publication history of 'A Ghost from the Sea' is lost in the mists of time, but it almost certainly originally appeared in a periodical at some point in the early 1880s. It was later published in book form as part of the collection 'Stories Weird and Wonderful' in 1889. Recording © Bitesized Audio 2019.
