Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Cantrell charts a young boy’s journey in two never-before-seen stories and two published favorites, all inspired by ghost stories told around a campfire. Follow a young boy on All Hallow's Eve as he gazes into the fire of a magic lantern and discovers worlds he never guessed existed.
In the title story, FIREGAZER, Jay's uncle convinces him to look deep into the flames of an enchanted lantern and he follows the sparks to...
...THE MAN IN THE ATTIC, where a boy awakens a sleeping golem to protect himself from harm, but when the golem's power is unleashed, no one is safe.
Jay again follows the sparks to...
...I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS, where another boy believes that his mother has been taken to a better place by Santa Claus himself. But the police suspect something far worse.
Jay follows the sparks beyond the stars to...
...THE MUSHROOM FARM where a boy and his sister discover a man at their habitat on a planet far from Earth. At first they think he might be their salvation, but then must fight to keep him from becoming their destruction.
Jay emerges back in his own time to discover the secrets behind the lantern and the reasons for his uncle's quest.
NOTE: Two of these stories, THE MAN IN THE ATTIC and I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS have been included in other short story collections.
Genre: Horror
