The Gaslight Apparition

<p>The Gaslight Apparition</p><p>A lamplighter's duty. A flame that will not hold. A shadow that walks beside the light.</p><p>In the fog-choked streets of Whitethorn the lamplighters tend their nightly trade. Each flame banishes the dark - yet one man discovers a lantern that refuses to keep its fire. Where its glow falters a shape waits in the mist watching waiting following him from street to street.</p><p>As whispers spread of an apparition bound to the gaslight itself the lamplighter must choose whether to confront the shadow or let the darkness claim the town.</p><p>The Gaslight Apparition is the second of the Blackthorn Chapbooks by Edwin Blackthorn - Gothic tales in the spirit of the Victorian penny dreadful. Short chilling and steeped in atmosphere they are stories to be read by lamplight when the house is quiet.</p>
