DAS' BOOT meets DAWN OF THE DEAD

This is the second book by McCammon that I read, and again I'm please, ok this is fiction and it can be unbelieveable "SO WHAT" it is a story and a fast paced one at that. A Nazi Sub rises to the surface after 40 years with the crew mummified and still living due to a VOODOO curse. The towns people, (thinking they have a historical find), tow it into the local harbor. I'm sure you can piece the rest together. Yes, there are vivid scenes of cannabalism that are down right nasty and disgusting, but it is a horror book and if you don't like it you shouldn't read it.Simply put, I liked "THE NIGHT BOAT" I recommend it to any horror lover. It is an easy read worth the time. Trouble is, it is out of print & hard to find a copy, the flea markets are the best place to try and look for one.

Nazi Nightmare

This book is for readers who like to curl up in their favorite chair, turn the lights down low, and be scared out of their wits. Try reading this during a storm for maximum effect. This story will send chills like cold fingers down your spine. The details are so vivid the reader will imagine he/she is fleeing and fighting Nazi spirits alongside the main character. C'mon Robert, write us another one!

"The Night Boat" would make a great movie!

This book conjured up some great images! I think it would make a fantastic movie if done right!

Next to Swan Song, one of Robert McCammon's best.

As with Swan Song and Wolf's Hour, The Night Boat shows the talent of Robert McCammon in his ability to completely envelope the reader -- you feel as though you are actually there.
