The Octopus Cycle (Cryptofiction Classics - Weird Tales of Strange Creatures)

Easter Island is one of the world's great mysteries. Why did nobody live there when the island was discovered? Where did the giant statues come from? And why are the waters around the island —the mysterious Agassis Triangle — devoid of life?
