from Making Out: The Book of Lesbian Sex and Sexuality (1995)

it was such a risky narrative choice for black sails not to introduce the titular island in treasure island until the very end but I just love love love how it was done. the island is framed like a ghost story to the characters themselves, but of course it's already a ghost story to us, the audience, because we know exactly what it signifies. and even though the characters don't know that, it still manages to create such a deep feeling of mutual foreboding that transcends the fourth wall. skeleton island is a ghost story in the first place not because what has already happened there, but because of what will happen there. but everyone understands that it is a ghost story all too well.

"Unlike other narrative forms, where we can distinguish between the reader's time (the time of the reader/audience's perceiving of the narrative) and the narrative, or sign time (which is part of the fictional world), in the horror story audience-time and narrative-time collapse into each other as the storyteller proceeds... In the horror story the boundary between the real and the fictive, the interpretations of experience by the audience and the characters, is continually drawn and effaced. Both the story and its context of telling dissolve into a uniformity of effect."

– Susan Stewart, The Epistemology of the Horror Story
