Maritime Triptych

by Oscar O'Rourke

Fast-paced and thrilling. Shocking yet cerebral. This oceanic trilogy is vivid, beautifully written, and horrific.

Maritime Triptych is a collection of three oceanic novellas which detail the history of a cursed ship and its series of inhabitants, and which gradually expands a complex, internal mythology. A book that rewards both careful analysis and rereading, it allows for personal interpretations; however, it is also suitable for the casual reader looking for a dizzying, strange, and imaginative romp in a uniquely original world of mermaids, sea serpents, other creatures, and dread. Written in Oscar O'Rourke's characteristically lush and vivid prose, Maritime Triptych is his second collection of work, and his seventh release overall. In terms of genre, it combines elements of literary fiction with horror and drama.Novella 1: The Maritime RitualNovella 2: The Maritime SaviorNovella 3: The Maritime ProphetOscar O'Rourke is a writer from Washington State best known for his novellas Marley's Melancholia and When the Iris is A Dystopian Story, as well as for his work of short stories and poetry, Seattle Collection.
