Reviews

"Beneath the Lighthouse grabs you by the nether regions from the word go. Then it squeezes. Hard. With a nailed glove … A truly scary ghost story … a powerful 'coming of age' drama … a young man growing into adulthood against a backdrop of despair and quite shocking abuse … unpredictable and ever building. Blood and bone revenge, retribution and salvation. The strength of friendship, the power of love. You feel the dread and the underlying fear … not your typical tale. And what a tale it is." —EM Faustus

"Julieanne Lynch is a master storyteller. I was hooked by the beauty of the prose … and the pervading sense of horror that permeates the narrative." —Readers' Favorite
