The diary of Captain Edmund Vane, master of the brig Perseverance, covers ninety-seven entries across the year 1712. It begins with the precision of a competent man and ends in a locked cabin with no one inside. What happened in between is a matter of record. The record cannot be trusted. Written entirely as a ship captain's private journal, The Meridian Log is a novel of psychological horror set during the Golden Age of Piracy. As Vane's account of his voyage begins to contradict itself - the dates slipping, the crew thinning, the coastline appearing where no coastline should be - the reader is left to do what the narrator cannot: determine what actually happened. A novel designed to be read twice. The truth is in the text from the first page.
