[[Ward Moore]]'s 1951 story ''Flying Dutchman'' used the myth as a metaphor for an automated bomber which continues to fly over an Earth where humanity long since totally destroyed itself and all life in a nuclear war.<ref>{{cite book|author=David Seed|title=American Science Fiction and the Cold War: Literature and Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DTHfAQAAQBAJ&pg=PT126|year=2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-95382-9|page=126}}</ref>

British author [[Brian Jacques]] wrote a trilogy of fantasy/young adult novels concerning two reluctant members of the ''Dutchman''{{'}}s crew, a young boy and his dog, whom an angel charges to help those in need. The first novel was titled ''[[Castaways of the Flying Dutchman]]'' (2001); the second was titled ''[[The Angel's Command]]'' (2003), and the third was titled ''[[Voyage of Slaves]]'' (2006).

The comic fantasy ''[[Flying Dutch]]'' by [[Tom Holt]] is a version of the ''Flying Dutchman'' story. In this version, the Dutchman is not a ghost ship but crewed by immortals who can only visit land once every seven years when the unbearable smell that is a side-effect of the [[elixir of life]] wears off.
