"The Upper Berth; By the Waters of Paradise" by F. Marion Crawford is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The first story, "The Upper Berth," revolves around a mysterious and unsettling experience of the protagonist aboard a ship, exploring themes of isolation, the supernatural, and human fear. "By the Waters of Paradise" unfolds the melancholic tale of a young man, growing up in a gloomy castle and grappling with a sense of fatalism, until he encounters a ghostly figure that transforms his life. The beginning of "The Upper Berth" sets a vivid scene aboard a ship where a group converses listlessly until Brisbane, a strong and intriguing character, claims to have seen a ghost. The atmosphere becomes charged as Brisbane recounts his experiences, foreshadowing ominous events. His crossing on the "Kamtschatka" takes a dark turn when he discovers an unsettling history about his assigned state-room—Room 105. As strange happenings and disappearances unfold, including the disappearance of his roommate, the tension escalates into horror, compelling him towards a confrontation with the supernatural. Meanwhile, the opening of "By the Waters of Paradise" introduces us to a nostalgic and melancholic protagonist reflecting on his unhappy childhood and the peculiar influence of his old Welsh nurse, laying the groundwork for themes of love, loss, and the uncanny as his life takes an unexpected turn following the encounter with the woman in his dreams.
