  Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
   
  In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.
