The Lantern's Last Flicker: A Halloween Horror Novel

By Debbie Barnes

A cursed Halloween lantern in an abandoned Victorian house reveals every secret you've ever buried.

When Emily receives an old lantern as a birthday gift from her long-gone grandmother, she barely gives it a second thought-until she sees the flickering flame inside and hears the first whisper.

That night, Emily's grandmother dies on Halloween. The next morning, the lantern is missing. But the flame is already spreading through the town like spilled oil, turning every secret it touches into something monstrous.

As the cursed glow spreads from house to house, Emily discovers the lantern doesn't just reveal the past-it feeds on it. And the more it flickers, the more it wants to stay lit forever.

With only one night until dawn, Emily must decide whether to let the lantern die... or let it burn the entire world to the ground on Halloween.

Some lanterns are meant to stay unlit.
But this one refuses to.
And it hungers for your soul.
