A VOICE IN THE NIGHT
by William Hope Hodgson
In this story, a schooner at sea ("becalmed in the Northern Pacific") is approached in the middle of "a dark, starless night" by a small rowboat. The passenger aboard the ship, who refuses to bring his boat close alongside and requests that the sailors on the schooner put away their lantern, tells a disturbing tale. Initially begging food for his fiancée, he receives a box of foodstuffs, floated to him in a wooden box. Later that same evening he returns to report that his fiancée is grateful for the food, but will soon die, and he tells the sailors his full story.
This story was adapted into the "Voice in the Night" episode of the 1958 TV series Suspicion. This was one of ten episodes of Suspicion made by Shamley Productions, the company established by Alfred Hitchcock to produce his television series. It was directed by Arthur Hiller from a script by Stirling Silliphant. It starred Barbara Rush, James Donald, Patrick McNee, and James Coburn.
It was also adapted into the 1963 Toho classic Matango/Attack of the Mushroom People. (Toho is the Japanese production company behind the Godzilla movies.)
