Instructions for Leaving the Lighthouse

Not all lighthouses lead you safely to shore. The old Tidehaven lighthouse has stood abandoned since the night its light failed and dozens of sailors drowned. Locals say the place is cursed. Elias, a guarded investigator of the supernatural, would rather keep his distance—until Benji, an old friend from his childhood, turns up at his doorstep asking questions he shouldn't. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes survival, as the lighthouse stirs awake and pulls them both into its shifting halls. To escape, Elias and Benji must confront what waits inside: not just the dead left behind, but also the ghosts they carry within themselves. A haunted lighthouse, a house that remembers, and two men bound by past and present—Instructions for Leaving the Lighthouse is a modern gothic tale of memory, longing, and the places that will not let us go.
