About this title

Synopsis

Two centuries after the Headless Horseman’s ride, the Hollow is still haunted.

The churchyard bridge grew quiet when the Horseman fell. But upriver, Lantern’s Crossing refused to darken. From 1779 to the present day, witnesses have told of a square of pale light, a figure bound in chains, and a voice that presses the same question into every heart that dares cross its planks:

Where rides the Horseman? Where bleeds the line?

From soldiers and hunters to schoolteachers and skeptics, generation after generation has been pulled into the lantern’s oath. Now, in the modern day, Ethan Mercer inherits the cursed light — and discovers that some promises outlive death itself.

Blending gothic folklore with supernatural horror, The Keeper of the Lantern traces a living legend through centuries of blood, fire, and frost. Fans of Sleepy Hollow, haunted Americana, and ghost stories that feel real will find themselves unable to look away.

Dare to cross the bridge. The lantern is waiting.
