Free Stuff - A Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson

A Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson

While reading the otherwise meh Alfred Hitchcock collection 12 Stories They Wouldn't Let Me Do on TV, I read this gem, originally published in The Blue Magazine in 1907.  A creepy little tale about a castaway who dares not let himself be rescued.  The tale rang familiar to me, and sure enough, it's the basis for this classic:



Matango, aka Attack of the Mushroom People.  It's also been adapted for TV on Suspicion and Naruto.

Read it free here.
