In 1873, the Harrison family travels to a remote island to keep the lighthouse burning.
The job is simple: tend the lantern, watch the sea, and never let the light go out.
But isolation changes people. And the island has its own rules.
The wind carries voices across the headland. The sea leaves footprints where no one should walk. At night, something climbs the tower steps. Johan writes everything in the keeper's ledger, each entry more unsettling than the last, until the handwriting begins to change.
Storms cut the family off from the mainland. The shutters rattle. The lantern falters. The children wake to shapes moving in the turning beam, watching the house, waiting for the dark.
When the light finally fails, whatever has been waiting on Blackthorn Island comes closer.
A haunting gothic horror novella of isolation, madness, family tragedy, and the things the sea does not give back.
Perfect for readers of atmospheric ghost stories, psychological horror, and slow-burn supernatural fiction.
