"There are many who have heard tales of the Wandering Jew. Many others have heard of the Flying Dutchman, doomed to sail the seas for eternity. Some even claim to know the truths behind these famous tales. Fewer by far know the story behind the Marie Céleste, though I feel myself fortunate to count myself among their number."Few know the story behind the Marie Céleste - indeed, almost no-one knows the truth of what happened on the famous ship. Thanks to a chance meeting in the Old Grey Dog, I learned the truth. And it's a terrible truth indeed.

A fun reworking of the traditional "old sea dog's tale", with many of the cliches of the genre playfully relocated to a modern-day Scottish seaside town. It deals with the fate of the Marie Celeste, introducing a mysterious force with a taste for Scottish beer, which is still around today. Could the blood-chilling fate of the Marie Celeste await you the next time you hop on the shuttle train to Edinburgh...?
