The Nebula and World Fantasy Award-nominated author of A Red Heart of Memories continues the spellbinding story of the wandering witch Matilda (Matt) Black, who possesses the ability to communicate with inanimate objects and see into people’s dreams—and her companion Edmund Reynolds, a young man with magic of his own who is only beginning to come to grips with his past and his powers… The two travelers have come to the town where Edmund grew up, and found shelter in the benevolently haunted house that was a refuge for Edmund and his friends when they were children. But the house begins to speak to Matt, urgently, telling her that she and Edmund have to leave, to seek out the long-scattered friends. For a darkness is rising, a dangerous, powerful entity. And the only chance of stopping it lies in the hearts of the lost children of the house…

What is it about lighthouses that stirs the heart and sparks the
imagination? Built for strength and permanence, they are
nonetheless always vulnerable. We look to them for guidance and
reassurance yet never quite lose the feeling of being watched when
near them. Their keepers work tirelessly to serve humanity,
protecting many hundreds of lives each year; yet they themselves
are isolated from other people. And of course, we are ever aware
that these often remote outposts can be unforgiving of human
frailties, so inevitably they become the setting for tragedy and
consequently for spirits that linger at the site of their ruined
hopes, their sufferings, and their obsessions. In Lighthouse
Hauntings a dozen contemporary authors spin an intriguing mix of
supernatural tales around this evocative theme. Some of these never
before published stories are just plain creepy, others are
mystifying or metaphysical, or even heartwarming, but all are
vividly memorable."
