The Barge of Haunted Lives

A wealthy eccentric with a taste for playing the benevolent detective gathers nine guests aboard his barge, nine people whose lives have collided in ways none of them fully understands. One by one, they step forward with a story to tell: the Human Gargoyle, the Hypochondriacal Painter, the Homicidal Professor, the Veiled Aeronaut, and more. Their tales range from the macabre to the impossible, from a diamond concealed in an embalmed body to a love affair with a beautiful vampire, and every strange thread pulls tighter around the others.

First published in 1923, this interlocking collection of weird adventures blends detective mystery, gothic atmosphere, and pulp-era thrills in the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson's New Arabian Nights. A perfect listen for anyone who loves classic tales of mystery, shadows, and the uncanny, where every passenger carries a secret.
