It even almost looked like there was going to be a moment between him and the old captain, but nope, completely disregard that.

While Schiller was the worst in my opinion as it could have been fascinating, Kip was another one. His entire backstory, the fact that the reverend thought he might be able to do something, the hints that he too had some sort of power Surely people are sitting there going "guess I should skip it.

I honestly wouldn't fully say that. I mean really, I'll get through a lot of problems for that sort of entertainment, and it IS entertaining. It's just McCammon at his worst and seemingly indifferent. While casual horror fans and those who hate cheesy horror should skip it, others will find it hilarious or at the very least pretty entertaining.

I personally debated on a 2 or 3 star rating, but feel I can't quite justify that extra star, and really, when we get down to it, while some will see a gem, it's really just kind of okay.

What is the story behind that ship? What about its mission, nationality and crew? It was a German submarine sinking freight ships during WW2 in that area. As soon as the ship swims the tide again strange de Another early classic by McCammon.

As soon as the ship swims the tide again strange deaths happen. The submarine is towed to the shipyard and then the real horror begins for the main characters and the inhabitants of the little town. Who made the crew to something ghastly and unspeakable?

What is the role of Boniface the Cathololic priest often seen practising Voodoo? This is fascinating early 80s horror at its very best. You don't want to meet the Night Boat, risen from its tomb at the bottom of the see and its uncanny crew.

Gosh, this was an extremely compelling book. Did David Moore succeed in getting rid of the Night Boat? Nail biting suspense and horror up to the last page. Absolutely recommended to every 80s horror fan like me , what a tale!

The premise and idea of this is fascinating - there were over sunken German submarines, and to have one submerged in sand and released with a monstrous crew? Epic idea for a horror story set on an island. Throw in some doses of voodoo, a creepy thing underdone that I adore? Even better formula in the mixing. Unfortunately all these didn't combine well. I kept thinking when reading The Night Boat that it would have rocked as a short story or slim novella, but just wasn't packing enough punch The premise and idea of this is fascinating - there were over sunken German submarines, and to have one submerged in sand and released with a monstrous crew?

I kept thinking when reading The Night Boat that it would have rocked as a short story or slim novella, but just wasn't packing enough punch for a book. While not long at under pages, The Night Boat still dragged its anchor around too much to stay interesting.

A story like this should fascinate, but I kept growing bored. I like the slow and steadily building ominous pace as much as any horror fan, and that's where the book worked its strongest magic. Still, when things finally happen it wasn't up to McCammon's usual flair of writing. Dare I say some of the scenes were actually written poorly?

Much more could have been done with the sea's naturally chilling setting. There were some slightly eerie scenes, but the potential this book had just wasn't met.

It didn't help characterization fell short too. I couldn't care about anyone much. They sort of blended together with the dialogue of capital letters when people emphasized or shouted.

No true traits of individualism breached the hull of this book. I'm a fan of McCammon but ultimately this one was flat. The air was let out of the story way too soon. And yes, I enjoy making cheesy water-related jokes in my reviews; don't shoot me over it. I read it was his second book - not published, but written - so this is perhaps why. Some editing to inject life and color into it would bring it afloat again.

We know from the cover blurb that this will be a Nazi zombie story, and McCammon does not let us down!

The story is set on lovely Coquina, a sparsely populated island in the Bahamas whose claim to fame if you will was the construction of a British ship repair facility during WWII. In , a U-boat shelled Coquina and burned down the town around it; a few days later it came back to finish the job and got trapped by some British destroyers. Although they depth-charged for days, they never found the U-boat. In the present day, the owner of the islands only hotel went diving off the bay where he had found some artifacts before and found the U-boat buried in sand on a ledge.

While exploring it, he also found an unexploded depth charge that decided the time was right to explode. The ensuing explosion cleared the tons of sand off the U-boat and it floated to the surface. Amazed that the U-boat floats, and even more so that it looks relatively undamaged from its decades beneath the sea, town locals tow it to the dry dock of the old British ship repair facility to clear it from the harbor.

One greedy man, dreaming about hidden Nazi gold bars, cuts open a hatch to the sub late at night and then things start to happen on the island OK, so a Nazi zombie story, complete with a WWII U-boat, is probably not for everyone, and definitely not considered a work of high fiction, but it is still is a lot of fun. It turns out that a local voodoo man put a curse on the boat when it shelled the island in that and the hate of the Nazis drives them to take revenge in their half-dead state.

These are not Romero zombies, but something new and novel. Add the story to the great cover art by Rowena Morrill and you have a nice little book! Dec 05, Adam Light rated it really liked it Shelves: paperback , horror , own-it , robert-r-mccammon. Compared to anything post "They Thirst" McCammon, this is certainly an inferior book but it should be judged on its strengths and weaknesses.

Setting aside the inevitable comparisons to his later work, I rate this as a very satisfactory horror novel. Good, fun, and action packed.

A fast, fun horror tale featuring a cursed U-boat and undead Nazis, with a dash of voodoo to give it that authentic island flavor. Aug 19, Steve rated it it was ok Shelves: fiction , horror-and-dark-fiction. This isn't a bad horror novel, but it's a pretty forgettable one, which is probably why McCammon pulled it from circulation.

I think that judgement a bit too severe, given it's genre writing in the first place lighten up McCammon. But hey, it's his call. The book actually starts out well, with McCammon effectively mixing some exotic elements Nazis, voodoo, zombies , into some decent dread.

The problem is that once the zombies or more appropriately, flesh eating mummies show up, the wheels start to come off. In any event, the sense of horror quickly evaporates, and you have an ending that borrows heavily on Moby Dick and Jaws.

The last 50 pages felt like a One of the major problems with the novel is that the main character, David Moore, is bland and uninteresting. McCammon attempts to make him a haunted and fated type, but as the novel draws to an end, you can't help but feel that most of the secondary characters are more interesting and many of them ARE interesting. McCammon can write, and it's clear he did some research here especially with U-boats. The dialogue at least until the by-the-numbers ending , was also pretty good.

Given that much of dialogue comes from Caribbean characters, that's no small feat especially for a young writer. Recommended only for fans of s horror which I am , and McCammon completists. Good cheesy cover art. If you're just a casual reader of RM, his later books are better.

I think he's wrong, but whatever. Cover Art: 3 Stars. For this review, I thought I try get a few pictures in here - I know, I know - it's nothing like the ones looking like small movies in themselves like the reviewing pro's on here do, but you can always get to them later on. This book is kinda like if you took Baron Samedi, say from Live and let die : and had him go crazy on a sub:. Sound good? Well it's Good Night Boats Book Txt not fantastic. But if it sounds fun - that's closer to the truth!

To be perfectly honest, this did not warm me towards McCammon. I stand by my to For this review, I thought I try get a few pictures in here - I know, I know - it's nothing like the ones looking like small movies in themselves like the reviewing pro's on here do, but you can always get to them later on.

I stand by my top score for 'Boy's Life' - I adored that book! This one is kind of fun in parts, but there were way too many silly and b-movie flavored situations and dialog to work all the way. To complete the mixture; take a pinch of Fulci voodoo zombies Should you want to know more about the actual book - visit the one and only Edward's take. He was kind enough to read this with me and I'm sure he'll write a better review View 1 comment. The book has one of the longest set ups I have ever read - almost one third of this book.

That is bit too long. The prologue is perfect. Only one man survived. Forty years later David Moore accidentally releases the submarine and with it its terrible cargo. It takes quite some time for the story to 3. It takes quite some time for the story to move forward. Parts of the story are extraordinary and others are unnecessary slow.

The parts of the book about the threat, the islanders' memories of war and the attacks in the present are what is making this book great. Childhood memories of voodoo make add to the mystique of the story.

On the other hand, since I don't know anything about boats and their parts, it was a bit tedious reading about it. It took me out of the story. The constant reminders of skin colour don't help either. He didn't miss a lot of characters. Still, Robert McCammon is a great writer. He even managed to make me feel sorry for them. That and I can't remember ever reading a description of a real Nazi officer not the ones with conscience as in other books that wasn't an attempt of finding the monster in his outward features.

The man, before he died, was attractive. Somehow I don't think the author planned that, but there you go. My reading of this book was a combination of ups and downs. One moment I was thinking how slow everything is going, the next I was almost overwhelmed in a good way.

I don't even have to say the latter are parts of this book with zombies and they overcome the ones I didn't really care for.

I still can't decide on the role one particular female character has in this book. The woman appeared in the middle of the book, ended up being in the middle of everything and all that being completely unimportant.

Overall, The Night Boat is a great zombie story once it lets you see the monsters. View all 5 comments. I enjoyed this book so much. Not only does McCammon deliver on a fun premise--undead Nazi submarine crew goes ape-shit in a sleepy Caribbean village--he complements the genre goodies with characters whose own stories invited my interest and my sympathies. McCammon even introduces the makings for some genre staples and then neatly sidesteps these cliches, offering up situations and relationships that belong to the tone and texture of the story.

The balance between plot and character depth in this I enjoyed this book so much. The balance between plot and character depth in this zombie tale is just right, and I give McCammon major props for this achievement.

I loved the zombie attack scenes, and I craved more of them in the book's final act--which I submit as proof-positive that McCammon nailed this book's composition with precision.

Too many other horror books have lost me due to boring verbosity that aims to add flesh--and ends up piling on pound after pound of fat. Those books I skimmed; this one I devoured in one day of reading that was pure pleasure. Well, I could say that my edition has a striking cover by Rowena or point out that this appeared years before Brian Keene rose or Robert Kirkman walked, but Dude, it's Nazi submarine zombies!

Grab some beer and pizza and read it! Submarine zombie Nazis! This book is problematic as hell, but that's not necessarily a "deal-breaker". Now I guess it would just be like life-size Star Wars figurines, so. To an devoted R. Also the covers were really cool. You could and I did spend hours just picking books up and staring at the chillingly rendered grotesqueries adorning them.

And Bob McCammon had the best covers, hands down. The covers of McCammon's books were so cool, and suggested such a richly foreboding and mysterious adult terror, that I never worked up the nerve to actually try reading one. Thirty or forty years later, some time down the road, Gib Gobs posts a four star review on this website of something called Stinger with a cover, and name attached to it, that look awfully familiar.

And I mean "awfully"! So I started reading these stupid things in order - The Night Boat is the third one, in publishing order, but legendarily mythically? All three are bad, and for a while McCammon legendarily mythically??

But Baal and Bethany's Sin are pretty fucking hard to put down once you decide for whatever reason to pick them up. The Night Boat is a turgid slog. Its action relegated to a small Caribbean island, the locale provides McCammon a good excuse to do lots and lots of bad dialect, and indulge in flatly racist voodoo caricatures.

The plot involves a long-submerged U-boat risen to the surface and the undead Nazis who have been waiting for forty years to just get out of this watery grave and get a plate of knockwurst and resume WWII exactly where they left off.

Lots of nautical action and of course McCammon rises to the challenge, the writing still self-consciously muscly but actually less redundant and overheated than similarly situated material in Bethany's Sin which, again, is a better book, and we can never, ever allow the feminists to discover its existence , but the characters in the water don't ever come to life, and the book drifts into a truly lazy white savior ending that retroactively negates any goodwill the author earns with the sequences where boats are fighting.

I'm not giving up on Bob McCammon, at least not until I get to the iconic stuff that tantalized my pre-pubescent imagination, but the Night Boat, which every time I referred to by the title in the review here I first typed it as "the Ghost Boat" and then had to backspace it up and retype it correctly as "the Night Boat," is a terrible novel.

There's a moment in the story when a character - who actually is the best, most likable character in the book but still lazily rendered and ultimately just acting in service to the most boring character in the entire book, The One White Guy In This Story Who Isn't An Actual Nazi; this character is representative of the book's most serious failing, that McCammon introduces a lot of potentially interesting shit and then fails to develop the material or deliver any payoff whatsoever - but he drops to his knees after failing in his pursuit of the Night Boat goddamnit, I did it again, I typed "the Ghost Boat" and says "The Night Boat - nooooooo!!

This is really a status update on my McCammon quest. I felt compelled to condemn this novel on the public record before I continued along my private path. When the crew hammers at the rotting hulk of the submarine, it's actually irate neighbors at two o'clock in the morning trying to get Led Zeppelin silenced. The roaches in the ceiling I saved for another book. It is a beautiful place, surrounded by emerald water, with fresh trade winds and golden sand, green palms swaying in the breeze, the scent of cinnamon and coconut in the air.

It was created by a young man whose apartment looked out over a junk car lot, the smell of burned onions wafting from somebody's kitchen, and burglar bars on the windows. Ah, the luxury of the imagination The Night Boat is about the merging of dream and nightmare, confinement and escape, and what I think of as the whirlpool of Fate.

David Moore thought he'd escaped that whirlpool, but it was waiting for him, there below the surface of emerald waters, where the monsters doze but never sleep.
