[James Bowman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid selection of ghost stories centered around Maine's many lighthouses. The telling is perhaps a little too literary at times, but overall it's an enjoyable read that strikes the right balance between fact and fable. There's also a nice little bonus section at the end of less lighthouse-centric tales. (B+)

On a recent trip to Maine, my wife and I visited The Owl’s Head Lighthouse. Afterward, we stopped by the visitor’s store where I discovered this entertaining and fascinating book on haunted Maine lighthouses. As a photographer, I find lighthouses intriguing subjects. A few years back we did a trip to Maine expressly to photograph a series on the subject. Part of what makes Lighthouses fascinating is their isolation away from most everything else and Maine’s rocky coast adds to that isolated atmosphere. Years ago being a lighthouse keeper was a solitary life. You had to be a strong person secure with being by yourself. If not, the imagination can play tricks. This all bodes well for many of the legends in this terrific book.
