This anthology for lighthouse aficionados presents 12 never before published stories of the supernatural that all feature lighthouses as their setting and focus. Within that framework, however, these contemporary authors bring tremendous variety to their plotlines and their characters. Some stories are just plain creepy, others mystifying or metaphysical or even heartwarming, but all are vividly memorable. As the introduction states, “From Rick Hautala’s chilling tale of a reporter who found much more than he bargained for to Billie Sue Mosiman’s story of jealousy and betrayal at an isolated Florida lighthouse, ghosts and specters of all kinds are here. . . .” Twelve of the finest contemporary dark-fiction writers accepted the challenge to write original ghost stories with lighthouse settings for this book. Master anthologizers Martin Greenberg and Charles Waugh, who have compiled literally hundreds of collections over the years for many trade publishers, edited this anthology. Table of Contents:
