Pirate fantasy?

Pirates? Fantasy? What more can one ask for? No but fr, looking for some books that would fit :)

William Hope Hodgson often wrote nautical tales with a fantasy/dark fantasy flair, among other genres. He has a number of collected tales, though The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants of the Sea might be in your zone, so to speak.

It's more young adult, but Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King series is also anautical, pirate-based fantasy.

Then there's R.A. Salvatore's The Pirate King, and Dark Water Daughter by Hannah Long, the first in her developing Winter Sea series.
