Description
In the autumn of 2017, Luna spent a week in the coastal town of Porthaven, Maine, housesitting for an old family friend. The house was a three-story Victorian on Church Street, a block from the harbor. The friend—a marine biologist named Eleanor—had left detailed instructions about the cat, the plants, and the porch light. She said to keep it on every night, from dusk until dawn. Luna forgot, once, on the third night. And something came up from the water—something that had been waiting for the dark. This is the story of what she saw on the seawall, what she heard in the basement, and what Eleanor never told her about the light. It is not a ghost story. It is a story about a promise, and what happens when you break one.
