Hardcover book with an illustration by James Gurney of a skeleton standing on the deck of a sailing ship. He is wearing a ragged tricorner hat and his left leg is a wooden pegleg from the knee down. He is holding a brass telescope in his left hand and a cutlass in his right, point down resting on the side of a spilled ironbound wooden chest with gold falling out. Behind him can be seen a cannon, rigging, sails, and a storm-tossed sea.
On Stranger Tides
By Tim Powers
The primary inspiration for the Pirates of the Caribbean movie of the same name. Pirates, voodoo, zombies, magic, the Fountain of Youth, and feats of derring do. It'll shiver yer timbers, matey.
