New York Times bestseller Richard Chizmar has co-authored a found footage horror novel with his son, W.H. Chizmar.
Widow’s Point: The Complete Haunting will be published on September 30 by Gallery Books.
The 256-page book is about doomed thrill-seekers trapped in a haunted lighthouse. Here’s the official synopsis:
“Longtime residents of Harper’s Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow’s Point Lighthouse. Some say it’s cursed. Others claim it’s haunted.
“Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse’s construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror.
“In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds.
“The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until now.
“Told across two harrowing incidents from 2017 and 2025, those who enter the Widow’s Point Lighthouse searching for supernatural proof and the next big thing find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they are not alone.”
The elder Chizmar is best known for collaborating with Stephen King on the Gwendy trilogy — 2018’s Gwendy’s Button Box, 2019’s Gwendy’s Magic Feather, and 2022’s Gwendy’s Final Task.
