The Mystery of the Sea (1902) is a novel by Irish author Bram
Stoker. Combining occult elements with historical events involving
the Spanish-American War and the 1588 defeat of the Spanish Armada,
The Mystery of the Sea is an informed mystery and political
thriller that helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic
horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth
century. On his first trip to Cruden Bay, a seaside village near
Aberdeen, Scotland, a young Englishman named Archibald Hunter
discovers his gift for second sight. This strange power grants him
the ability to predict future events, as well as to see spirits.
Trained by a local woman named Gormala MacNeil, who shares his
powers, Hunter learns to control his second sight. When he returns
to Cruden Bay a year later to live their permanently, he
unwittingly purchases a trunk containing letters and documents
dating back to the 16th century. With the help of Marjory Drake, a
secretive American, he deciphers the letters to discover clues
leading to the location of a secret treasure. Hidden by a Spaniard
named Don Bernadino de Escoban following the English defeat of the
Spanish Armada, the treasure has long been forgotten to all but Don
Bernadino’s descendants. Enveloped in layers of mystery, pulled
into events involving ancient piracy and the Spanish-American War,
Hunter must rely on his hidden powers and uncommon courage to save
not only the woman he loves, but his life. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Bram Stoker’s The Mystery of the Sea is a classic of Irish
literature reimagined for modern readers.
