In the third mysterious tale of Eerie-on-Sea, its almost Ghastly Night, and the Shadowghastan ancient spirit in a lanternlurks in wait for the power to enslave the town.In this third adventure, shipwrecked orphan Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, must square off with a creature of town lore as he confronts a shadow from his past. While other towns celebrate Halloween, in Eerie-on-Sea its Ghastly Night, and a grim spirit in a lantern awaits its moment. Legend has it that if people fail to light manglewick candles on Ghastly Night, and if no showman conjures shadow puppets on the pier as an offering, the insulted Shadowghast will seize and devour the shadows of the living. This year, a professional theater troupe has been summoned, including a raven-haired magician named Caliastra with startling news of Herbies origins. No sooner have the players checked into the hotel than townspeople start vanishing into thin air, including the guardian of Herbies best friend, Violet Parma. Its up to Herbie and Violet to separate truth from sleight of hand and solve the mystery of the Shadowghast lantern before darkness swallows them all.

The first time you saw Eerie-on-Seas special Halloween show? The first time you gathered on the pier with your friends and family and huddled in the cold night airand the glow of the manglewick candlesas you waited for the magic to begin? Perhaps you were carried there on your dads shoulders, caramel apple in one hand, sparkler in the other? Or perhaps you peeked from snug inside your mums coat as the puppet master lit the lantern. Remember how you blinked in the beam of eerie light? Remember how the strange fumes tickled your nose? Remember how you gasped in wonder as the showmans hands conjured puppets of shadowforms and phantasmagoria that crept and capered and danced above you in the smoky autumn air? And did you see it? Did you catch a glimpse of that extra shadowone not made by the skillful showmans fingers? A shadow not cast by anything at all? A crooked figure, cavorting in dark delight at the edge of the lanterns beam, neverwhen you turned to lookquite where you thought it was, but always there, hunting, tormenting, snatching the showmans shadow puppets one by one till the show was ended. And the smoke curled away to nothing. And all the shadows were gone. And no sound remained but the hiss of the lantern and the creak of the pier and the chu
