"The Lamplighter" is an atmospheric, haunting Gothic tale of enchanted New England woods, the frigid sea, family secrets, girls battling patriarchy, and the dark side of magic.
Honor—bringing light into the darkness.
The village of Warbler is famous for its ship ornaments, believed to bring good luck. It is also infamous for the fact that people there disappear without a trace in the evening fog. In this gloomy land, the lamplighter represents safety, and it is this role that Temperance assumes when her father is found hanged from one of the lampposts. Soon, two lampposts go out, and more victims vanish into the thick fog. The villagers blame Temperance, who desperately tries to find the truth. It seems no one wants to listen to her warnings about a monster—animal or man—lurking in the darkness.
Will Temperance be able to escape the fog of fear and silence? Will she dare to accept the ugly truth about her father? Will she dare to give a name to what's happening in the village?
The novel "The Lamplighter," brilliantly translated by Dmitry Shepelev, is a masterpiece of atmospheric folkloric horror. Warbler's almost tangible fog, the desperate struggle of a strong heroine, the women's voices that are being silenced, the journey through darkness, and the stunning denouement—the story will leave no reader indifferent. The original cover illustration perfectly captures the spirit of this dark and gripping book.
