Keeper of the Light
Community Rating
Description
They told her it would be peaceful. A place to disappear. To be alone.
When Melissa accepts a custodial post at the Greywick Isle Lighthouse, she thinks it's exactly what she needs. Isolation, quiet, and a time to forget a past she's buried under silence and lies. A prison of her own making, a chance to lock the door and throw the key away.
Then come the rules.Old sailor superstitions to be sure.
The further Melissa descends into her duties, the more she realizes about the island. Of it's story. Of herself as she becomes the Lighthouse's Keeper.
Keeper of the Light is a (attempt) at a slow-burn psychological horror. Where every keeper leaves a mark. The light must stay lit. The cycle must continue. And the worst thing you can do...
...is break the rules.
