The Ghost Island Light is a tale of an older lighthouse keeper and his beautiful young society wife who have taken up a position on a remote lighthouse on a windswept, barren rock. We discover the older keeper has taken this isolated position to keep his flirtatious young wife away from temptations of the mainland. This is complicated by the arrival of a handsome young assistant keeper, and the malignant ghostly presence of a former keeper's wife who had killed herself out of loneliness and is out for revenge on all the keepers of the light.
