Many stories, both true and false, surround the lighthouse. All of them possess something eerie and mystical that captivates the reader. Ronald Glomb has compiled tales from authors from Germany, England, France, Brazil, Poland, Sweden, the USA, and the Netherlands. They all deal with danger, the omnipresence of the fantastic, the mysteries of the universe, and death amidst life. These are stories that one can immerse oneself in while reading, as cold fog walls outside evoke the spirit of the lighthouse.
