Storm-swept, remote light stations-and the isolated souls who man the beacons-are the perfect inspirations for tales of suspense and horror. Lighthouse Horrors collects 17 of the best from such writers as Rudyard Kipling, Robert Bloch, Jack Vance, and Ray Bradbury.
This is a book to save for a fogbound or rain-dark night. Once you've read these pages, you'll never look at a lighthouse in quite the same way again.
After editing an anthology about lighthouses (Lighthouses: An Anthology of Dark Tales / Black Beacon Books), I was surprised to discover that my idea wasn't as original as I had thought. Lighthouse Horrors starts off slowly and improves as the voyage progresses. I've given the anthology three stars over all, but of the seventeen stories, six stood out for me: On the Isle of the Blue Men, Three Skeleton Key, The Fog Horn, All the Way Home, By the Hair of the Head, and The Driven Snow. If you enjoyed Lighthouses: An Anthology of Dark Tales, your bound to enjoy some of these tales.
