Lighthouses

The storm is coming, so batten down the hatches and let Lighthouses guide you into the darkness

★ If the films The Vanishing and The Lighthouse rocked your boat, you simply must read this dark anthology ★

Black Beacon Books presents an anthology of dark tales about lighthouses and beacons. This unique book offers you, the most daring of readers, fourteen original stories of horror, mystery, suspense, and adventure. Within these pages lurk monsters from the depths of the seas and the far reaches of the cosmos. There are murders to solve, hauntings to investigate, and loved ones to be rescued. There are tales of hidden treasure, timeless curses, and ancient orders. Seafarers face ferocious storms while families fall apart and lighthouse keepers lose their sanity.

Reviews

"I downloaded this wonderful treasure in the dead of night. Sleepy-eyed, I thought I'd just read a few pages, then go to sleep. Little did I know that this is a book that once you start, you can't put down. I'll be wanting the hardcover now, so Lighthouses can grace my shelves right next to Poe, Lovecraft, and Maupassant. Now, I don't throw reviews out like confetti, so it has to be worthy, and Lighthouses is one of the best reads I've had in a while. It's one of those great books that keep you up all night and leave you thinking about it the next day... Simply brilliant " - Catherine Forte

"This enthrallingly magnificent collection of shorts will delight the connoisseur of the supernatural, and scare the pants off the casual reader." - Goodreads reviewer

"I would highly recommend this for any nautical horror shelf." - Goodreads reviewer

Publisher's recommendation: If Lighthouses gives you a thrill, you'll also like our anthology, Shelter from the Storm - available through Amazon like all Black Beacon Books titles.
