Weird Tales May 1942 – 'Vengeance in Her Bones' Rogue Ship Cover

A monstrous red freighter rears up from a storm-lashed sea, its hull animated by skeletal clawed arms that clutch and tear at the churning waves below. The ship itself has become a supernatural predator — a vessel possessed with a 'sub-hating soul' — driving its bow like a weapon into the dark ocean. Turbulent greens and yellows electrify the sky as the demonic ship runs amok, illustrating Malcolm Jameson's nautical horror tale in classic Weird Tales pulp fashion.
