Among Ghosts and Titans

After chartering the C-Pilgrim, an aged yet sturdy seafaring vessel, and her equally aged and weathered captain, William Stilton of the Stilton Paranormal Research Institute embarks on his own pilgrimage into the frozen wastes of the Atlantic Ocean. His destination: the ruins of the RMS Titanic, eternally entombed in its abyssal void, cast asunder by Mother Nature herself.

What started off as a personal quest takes a frightening turn as he is thrust into the fight of his life. Pitted against the unrelenting and unforgiving wilds of the Atlantic Ocean and the supernatural forces that seek to claim him, Will struggles for survival in this epic fable where the calamity of the Titanic meets the literary endurance of the Odyssey.

A story within a story, the telling of that great industrial catastrophe is intertwined with William's clash against the austere and foreboding ocean and the primordial powers hunting him, as he drifts helplessly through the night among the ghosts and titans.
