| Summary |
"Isle of the Undead" by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach is a thrilling horror novel likely written in the early 20th century, during the period of pulp fiction. The book explores the terrifying fate of a yachting party stranded on an island populated by the undead, blending elements of adventure and the supernatural into a gripping tale of survival and fear. The story follows the protagonist, Cliff Darrell, and his love interest, Vilma Bradley, who find themselves aboard a yacht named the Ariel. After encountering a ghostly galley crewed by ancient, undead men, they face a series of horrifying events that lead them to a cursed island. Cliff and Vilma attempt to rescue their friends who have been captured and are forced into a nightmarish ritual of sacrifice to powerful undead beings. As Cliff battles the malevolent Leon Corio, who serves the dark masters, he must navigate both the horrors within the castle and the supernatural dangers threatening their lives, culminating in a desperate fight for survival as the island itself begins to crumble.
