The crew retreats into a castle, where they meat with a giant cyclopean ogre, who devours the crew one by one. Sinbad and two others flee on a raft to the next island.

All is not lost, as he regains his cargo from the next port, as he is reunited with the Diamond Merchant. The fourth voyage begins as a castaway upon an isle of a Magian Ghul, a cannibal king of an island. The lost isle is inhabited by naked men, who anoint the crew with ensorcelled oil, which causing crew to ecstatically eat until engorged and slaughtered. Sinbad alone escapes to another island, and lands upon an isle of saddle-less horses. The King gives thanks by marrying him to a lovely woman, yet the isle has a terrible secret. The living are buried with the dead, and Sinbad is lowered into a charnel pit with his dead wife...and becomes a ghoul himself, until escaping  through a tunnel made by beasts.

Arabian Nights: Sinbad The Seaman Voyage: 1 and 2

Sindbad The Seaman and Sindbad The Landsman.

The Legendary 7 Voyages of Sinbad Begin…
An impoverished yet good-hearted young porter Sinbad happens one night upon a fountained courtyard with music and dancing inside. Instantly he is whisked to the lavish feasting table of Sinbad the Seaman who begins the first two of eight exciting fantastical tales of serpents, rukhs, and mystery. Voyage One recounts the tale of Sinbad’s first shipwreck on a floating island, the back of a large sea-monster. On the shore, sea-stallions rise from the ocean, herded by a tribe of underground sea-cavern dwellers. As Sinbad wends his way dangerously back to Baghdad he embarks on a  second adventure. On an island a large sparkling, dome juts upward, a Rukh’s egg which is smashed by the hapless crew. Sinbad flees on the back of a Rukh, and falls into the Valley Of Serpents, encrusted with diamonds. Bloody slabs of lamb are are tied to eagles by diamond merchants. Sinbad emerges with precious jewels in tow.

Rabinadrath Tagore's "The Skeleton"

“In the garden at dusk, the smell of greenery wafts though the windows, and the night breeze wafts through and rattles chimes made of wood and bone that softly tinkle. Outside in the vines, is a carving relief of the goddess Chamunda, covered with moss and vines. This view is obscured by the darkening night, and a physician spends a fateful night in the old medical college…remembering the bones of an old skeleton that once hung from the rafters…

A voice whispers from behind the curtain… during the last thirty-five years I have only moaned in the wind in the burning-places of the dead. I would talk once more with a man as in the old times."

 "Does any one think of the skeleton of a champak flower?" The physician is mesmerized by the haunting beautiful apparition, and a dreadful tale unravels of passion, betrayal and ghastly terrors...

Rabinadrath Tagore's "The Hungry Stones"

The Hungry Stones" by Rabinadrath Tagore

An excursion high into the Hills of the Punjab and descent into madness, into the marble halls of the long-lost Mughals, and a demoness trapped in stone and serpentine dreams." 

"Methought that one of the thousand and one Arabian Nights had been wafted to me from the world of romance, and that at the dead of night I was wending my way through the dark narrow alleys of slumbering Bagdad to a trysting-place fraught with peril."

“her form was not invisible to my mind's eye,--an Arab girl, her arms, hard and smooth as marble, visible through her loose sleeves, a thin veil falling on her face from the fringe of her cap, and a curved dagger at her waist!”

“…at one time countless unrequited passions and unsatisfied longings and lurid flames of wild blazing pleasure raged within that palace, and that the curse of all the heart-aches and blasted hopes had made its every stone thirsty and hungry, eager to swallow up like a famished ogress any living man who might chance to approach…”

 And the haunting refrain “Stand Back! Stand back! All is false! All is false!”
