The Ocean Beasts Treasure Mark Stopford

Five short stories about The Ocean Beast (Kevin ) and Goatbeard the Billygoat grandson of Captain Kidd, who was known as the "Devil Pirate " as he pushed lit candles onto his massive twisted horns to make him look like he was rising up from Hell itself. A very neat trick for a time way before U tube, internet, television or even black and white horror films. Goatbeard sadly is a terrible "Devil Pirate" and just wants to be a chef and cook in his galley for his motley crew of rescued creatures. Goatbeards problem was that although his Galleon,"The Black Billy" is anchored directly over his granddads sunken wreck still full of fantastic treasures, it was guarded night and day by the most fearsome of ocean beasts "The Kraken" whos name was Kevin. Goatbeard and his motley crew come up with some whacky plots to part Kevin from his granddads treasure.
