Tales of Terror from the Black Ship by Chris Priestley
4.0
At first I thought Tales of Terror from the Black Ship would be a more direct sequel to [b:Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror|1900124|Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror (Tales of Terror, #1)|Chris Priestley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405131117s/1900124.jpg|2047392], but the framing story is different (though there is a tenuous link to Uncle Montague). The frame story here features a brother and sister who listen to a pirate's ghost stories while they wait for a bad storm to be over. Unlike the first book in the series which featured stories mostly set in the English countryside, Tales of Terror from the Black Ship features ghostly sea yarns. All of the ghost stories here concern ships, the sea, and the supernatural. It's certainly different than the first book in the series, but I found many of the stories in the collection to share a sort of sameness. I really enjoy Chris Priestley, however, so I wasn't too bored. At this point I've read 4 of his Tales of Terror books, but this is probably my least favorite of the 4. I do have to say that the frame story was the most interesting of any of them, however!
