Description

A young woman washes up on a remote island, with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She is taken in by the lighthouse keeper and his assistant, who provide for her basic needs. However, as time passes, it becomes clear that this woman is not what she seems. The island itself appears calm and peaceful, but beneath its serene surface lies a darker reality. Set against the backdrop of the 1860s slave trade, Pharos is a vivid and expressionistic ghost story that explores the complexities of human identity and the power of the past to shape our present. This haunting tale is a wonderful and unsettling read, perfect for those who enjoy classic ghost stories with a strong sense of atmosphere and suspense.
