Supposedly a true story framed in the format of a novel,The Jonah Watch is based on Jack Cady's experiences while serving on a Coast Guard cutter off the coast of Maine. Trapped on an icebound cutter, the crew of theAdrian are haunted by apparitions, and the resulting terror and paranoia make for a claustrophobic tale of initiation and survival.

It has an interesting premise: a ghost story on a ship, based on a true story. It’s supposedly based on real events that happened to the author while he was with the Coast Guard, and since it was released just in time for Halloween, the gnomes assumed this would be a very scary book.
Unfortunately, it’s not scary at all. The ghost takes a while to show up. Before the ghost makes an appearance, the book focuses on the everyday lives of the men on board the ship. One man, a new sailor named Brace, spills green paint inside the ship, and spends a couple of chapters cleaning it up. Not the most thrilling stuff.
The prose is wordy, often to the point of being difficult to follow. Sentences are peppered with sailing terminology, but no glossary is provided. The gnomes didn’t finish the book because of these issues.
History lovers and sailors will love this book, but anyone who is looking for a good scare should look elsewhere.
Rating: One Gnome out of Five
