A Hellish Thing - AE Lister

Simon White never expected to find his soulmate on the pirate ship, the Arrow, but once he and Captain Martin meet, nothing can stop their sensual alliance. Now, after saving the captain and the crew many times with his surprising powers, Simon has been promoted to officer and has a secure place in the captain's bed and his heart.

A trip to visit an old friend of Captain Martin's on Talamanca is a respite from shipboard living and from the disturbing nightmares that have been plaguing Simon-terrifying dreams of a horrifying creature that sings a seductive song.

Once back aboard the Arrow, however, Simon's nightmares return and strange events begin to occur. Is something evil on board, or is Simon going mad? When the bizarre occurrences begin to affect the entire crew, the men become aware a paranormal presence is at work.
