In 1859, three sailors arrive on an isolated island to man a new lighthouse at the wreck-prone tippy tip of South America. They soon discover a band of egregious criminals, led by dangerous evildoer Kongre, who have been tricking ships into running aground, killing the survivors and taking the loot. When two lighthouse men go to assist a ship and are killed, serious trouble ensues.

"Here is an extraordinary tour de force of narrative suspense, historical realism, and surreal enchantment, a novel that rivals its hero's greatest tales as, with phantasmagorical power, it spins its story on two separate but inexorably converging levels. On the one, we are in a superbly evoked nineteenth-century America, as Edgar Allan Poe tells of his nightmare youth, of his obsession with the thirteen-year-old first cousin whom he makes his child bride, of his public triumphs and his private demons. On the other, we are with a phantom Poe living and loving in a Paris viewed through the tinted glasses of his fictional detective, the immortal C. Auguste Dupin. Indeed, Dupin comes very much alive in these pages as he tracks Poe to America, bringing with him the icy logic bestowed upon him by his creator. Even as Poe lays bare the intimate details of his life, Dupin pitilessly exposes secrets of the psyche that are the keys to the ultimate mystery of self - and self-damnation. This is a detective story, a tale of horror, of adventure, of the sea, of fantasy, metaphysics, disintegrating personality, blighted love... all the threads of Poe's unique body of work woven together to meet his last and greatest challenge, the reinvention of himself."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

A unique illustrated exploration of our favorite oceanic beacons and their haunted histories. There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. These precariously perched structures have been the homes and workplaces of keepers whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. While that way of life may have faded away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories. This collection of more than thirty tales spans the heights and depths of human experience: the blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, the intrepid young woman saving ships from wreck beginning at just age twelve, the desperate plight of a crew cut off for forty days with meager supplies, the lighthouse haunted by the clacking sound of a long-passed keeper’s ghostly typewriter. Interweaving literary inspiration and elements from Jules Verne, Virginia Woolf, and Edgar Allan Poe and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans, and curious facts, these illuminating stories will transport the reader in a book as full of wonder as the far-flung lighthouses themselves. QUIRKY STORIES AND A LITERARY APPROACH: Fascinating stories and anecdotes about each lighthouse include such features as notable inhabitants (Virginia Woolf), tantalizing on-site discoveries (Edgar Allen Poe’s unfinished writings), and weird twists, such as a never-before-seen species made extinct by a lighthouse keeper’s cat (Tibbles). UNIQUELY ILLUSTRATED: The gorgeous pointillistic full-page illustrations, equally beautiful location maps, and detailed building diagrams make this a distinctive celebration of these fascinating structures and their places in the world. AN ARMCHAIR TOUR OF LIGHTHOUSES AROUND THE WORLD: The thirty+ stunning lighthouses featured include: Adziogol Lighthouse: Rybalche, Kherson Oblast (Ukraine) Amédée Lighthouse: Amédée, Nouméa, New Caledonia (France) Bell Rock Lighthouse: Inchcape Rock, Arbroath, Scotland (UK) Buda Lighthouse: Buda Island, San Jaime de Enveija, Tarragona (Spain) Eddystone Lighthouse: Eddystone Rocks, Rame Head, Plymouth (UK) Evangelistas Lighthouse: Evangelistas Islets, Natales, Última Esperanza (Chile) Great Isaac Cay Lighthouse: Great Isaac Cay, Bimini Islands (Bahamas) Grip Lighthouse: Grip, Kristiansund, Nordmøre, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) Guardafui Lighthouse: Cape Guardafui, Bari, Puntland (Somalia) Klein Curaçao Lighthouse: Klein Curaçao, Curaçao (Netherlands) Lime Rock Lighthouse: Lime Rock, Newport, Rhode Island (USA) Maatsuyker Lighthouse: Maatsuyker Island, Tasmania (Australia) Robben Island Lighthouse: Robben Island, Cape Town (South Africa) Rocher aux Oiseaux Lighthouse: Rocher aux Oiseaux (Bird Rock), Madeleine Islands, Quebec (Canada) Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse: Rubjerg, Hjørring, Jutland (Denmark) San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse: Isla de los Estados, Patagonia (Argentina) Smalls Lighthouse: Smalls Rocks, Marloes, Pembrokeshire, Wales (UK) Stephens Island Lighthouse: Takapourewa or Stephens Island, Marlborough (New Zealand) Svyatonossky Lighthouse: Svyatoy Nos, Múrmansk Oblast (Russia) Wenwei Zhou Lighthouse: Wenwei Zhou or Gap Rock, Wanshan Archipelago, Hong Kong (China) Perfect for: Readers of quirky history Fans of nautical tales Coastal residents and visitors Armchair travelers Anyone who has ever dreamed of life as a lighthouse keeper Gift giving for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthday, graduation, or housewarming

There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses. They have been the homes and workplaces of men and women whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas. Yet while that way of life fades away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories. From a blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, to an intrepid young girl saving ships from wreck at the foot of her father's lighthouse, and the plight of the lighthouse crew cut off from society for forty days, this is a glorious book full of illuminating stories that will transport the reader to the world's most isolated and inspiring lighthouses. With over thirty tales that explore the depths to which we can sink and the heights to which we can soar as human beings, and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, nautical charts, maps, architectural plans and curious facts, A Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World is as full of wonder as the far flung lighthouses themselves.

Futh, a middle-aged, recently separated man heads to Germany for a restorative walking holiday. During his circular walk along the Rhine, he contemplates the formative moments of his childhood. At the end of the week, Futh returns to what he sees as the sanctuary of the Hellhaus hotel, unaware of the events which have been unfolding there in his absence.
