'This is a bad place. I don't think people are meant to live here.'

Longtime residents of Harper's Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow's Point Lighthouse. Some say it's cursed. Others claim it's haunted.

Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse's construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds.

The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until now.

Told across two harrowing incidents from 2017 and 2025, those who enter the Widow's Point Lighthouse searching for supernatural proof and the next big thing find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they are not alone.

In this remarkable collaboration, father and son writing team, Richard and W.H. Chizmar combine forces to tell a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about what's waiting for you in the dark.

I tried to like this book but the narrator was very difficult to listen to, sometimes both too loud and then too quiet to hear within a single word which made it very difficult to find the right volume and hear all the words. It also just not really that spooky unfortunately (though I gave up after a chapter to ne fair).

Difficult to listen to

This came highly recommended by an author/podcaster who said it was particularly good and very chilling. I think I should have read the book instead as I was put off by the over-dramatic narration. I enjoyed the eerie setting and general storyline, but found once settled into the story, the newer characters were somewhat cliché.

The ‘zeros’ drive me crazy

This book really doesn’t work as an audiobook. The narrator was really really bad. Waste of a credit!

Terrible narrator

I wish I chose to read this instead of listen. The main narrator sounds like he has his mouth practically on the mic the whole time making it sound flarey, harsh and hard to follow. Also disappointing that they didn’t think about the audience when adapting, I think at least an hour of the book is them saying zero zero zero zero zero zero. MP4 at the beginning of each chapter, makes it just frustrating and annoying

Disappointing recording quality

A good story but probably better as a book…the narrator reading out the full time stamp (or lack of) every other paragraph was so annoying and I kept zoning out after so many zeros. Zero zero zero, zero zero zero … did they really need to say it all every time?

Zero zero zero, zero zero zero, zero zero zero
