The Lighthouse at Montauk Point and Other Stories
A collection of dark tales featuring vampires and murderers by R David Fulcher.
This volume compiles stories written over many years, reflecting shifts in the author’s personal life. Each narrative explores different facets of the supernatural and the grotesque. Characters range from the elite fighter pilot to the common person facing wickedness. The structure allows for abrupt shifts in tone and genre within the collection. Fulcher uses these varied voices to deliver sharp moral judgments on greed and evil. The stories do not offer redemption for every character, particularly those who act with malice. This approach creates a sense of unpredictability that defines the reading experience. The work fits into the broader tradition of American horror fiction from the early twenty-first century. It prioritizes narrative impact over extensive world-building or romantic subplots.
Published by Authorhouse in 2011, this collection sits within the landscape of independent horror publishing. It reflects the era's trend of authors releasing diverse short fiction collections directly to niche markets without major house backing.
