Summary "The Haunted Island: A Pirate Romance" by E. H. Visiak is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story invites readers into a thrilling tale of adventure, replete with pirates, treasure, and the supernatural, set during the tumultuous times of the 17th century. The narrative follows the protagonist, Francis Clayton, and his brother Dick as they embark on a perilous journey filled with dangers and dark mysteries tied to a haunted island. The opening of the book introduces us to Francis and Dick Clayton at their family manor on Christmas Eve, 1668. The brothers engage in a conversation filled with tales of a ghostly island, rumored to be protected by a monstrous spirit and guarded treasure. Following a heated scene involving a conspiratorial Captain Skinton and their father's outrage, Dick reveals his intention to commandeer his ship, the "Tiger", for a daring venture into the South Seas without royal sanction. As they set sail, the narrative hints at future encounters with pirates and eerie phenomena that encompass the haunted island's lore, foreshadowing the maritime adventures and conflicts that are to unfold.
