Reading Notes: Week 2 Anthology

Goblin City by W.H.D. Rouse
The plot of this story was about a shipwrecked crew that landed on a island full of goblins. These were all female Goblins that would take men as their husbands and later devour them when they grew bored of them. The Goblins used magic on the men so they were unable to see what they truly were and to see they were the only men on the island. One night the wife of the captain came back chewing on human meat and singing about it. The captain knew he had to save his crew and got his men together and got on the back of a winged horse. The horse was a fairy that rode the men to safety. 

The characters of this story were the Goblins that married the men, the captain, and the crew. The goblins were evil creatures that used men for their own sexual desires then desired them. The captain on the other hand cared for his crew as much as himself and sought to save them from the situation they had fallen into. The crew followed the lead of their captain and most of them chose to get to safety on the back of the fairy. 

The setting of this story took place on a island that was controlled by Goblins. This island had no men on it and was a trap for men who became shipwrecked.
