THE HAUNTED ROCK
By
Charles F. F. Woods
VIGIL OF TERROR!
Tedium
and loneliness was what he dreaded, but desperate isolation and
mounting fear was what he faced—what was the terror that shattered the
solitude of a shunned lighthouse on a barren point of land standing out
in the cold, unforgiving sea?

The Haunted Rock
by Charles F. F. Woods is a harrowing tale of the supernatural written
well over a century ago, yet still readily enjoyed by modern readers
with a taste for the mystery and awe that lies between the realm of the
living and the beyond. Finely crafted and realistically told, The Haunted Rock is an all but forgotten example of the great tradition of the Victorian ghost story.
This edition also features new, exclusive literary commentary and analysis, including comparisons with real world ghost lore and legend; plus it contains a reproduction of the original interior illustration by Victorian artist James Abbott Pasquier that accompanied the tale's first printing in 1871. This is a unique edition of a rare story, presented here for one of the few times it has seen print in over a hundred and fifty years.
