Widow's Point

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER USA TODAY BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author Richard Chizmar, one of horrors indispensable writers (Paste), and his son W.H. Chizmar, critically acclaimed author of Them (hailed by New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman as one of the best debuts Ive 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 Harpers Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widows Point Lighthouse. Some say its cursed. Others claim its 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 Widows Point Lighthouse searching for proof of the supernatural 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 chilling work of supernatural horror and a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about whats waiting for you in the dark.
