Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
USA TODAY BESTSELLER

New York Times bestselling author Richard Chizmar, “one of horror’s indispensable writers” (Paste), and his son W.H. Chizmar, USA TODAY bestselling author of Them (hailed by New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman as “one of the best debuts I’ve ever read”) present a riveting found-footage horror novel about doomed thrill-seekers trapped in a haunted lighthouse.

Longtime residents of the coastal town 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. During its construction in 1838, three workers were killed, 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.

Atmospheric, creepy, and downright spine-chilling, Widow’s Point was the perfect kind of read for this spooky season. From the original mixed media format to the Blair Witch Project vibes, I had to read this one with the lights on and I’m still likely to have nightmares later tonight. After all, fol......more

Goodreads review by Ila on October 05, 2025

A skin-prickling, parapsychological-investigative novel follows a cast of clout-chasers, truth-seekers, and researchers as they camp in a lighthouse infamous for its dark history of frightful events. In modern terms, FAFO but with more objectivity and in pursuit of truth and knowledge. Prompted by a......more

I absolutely loved how this story was told, they used: found footage, twitch streams, Reddit, emails, voice recordings, newspapers, etc. I flew through this one, and absolutely think it’s going to be......more
