In the shadowy depths of 1942 Romania, Robert Danforth – operative in the newly formed OSS – finds himself plunged into a web of dread and intrigue that defies the boundaries of sanity. Sent behind enemy lines as World War II rages, Danforth’s mission is clear – undermine the Nazi SS and their ruthless Romanian allies. Yet, as he navigates the crumbling aristocratic halls and mist-laden forests, a far darker threat emerges.

Haunted by visions of the Black Pharaoh, Danforth is stalked by new and mysterious forces not of this world. As his dreams twist into nightmares, he is led toward a mysterious woman, her cryptic paintings depicting horrors that seem eerily prophetic. Her brushstrokes may hold the key to unraveling an occult conspiracy, but her true motives remain shrouded in shadow.

Pursued by Nazi occultists and Romanian fascists, Danforth discovers the presence of an ancient, hidden cult operating beneath the surface of a notorious castle of war-torn Romania. These zealots worship powers that seek to reshape the fabric of reality itself – and they have marked Danforth as an unwilling pawn in their schemes.

With time running out, Danforth must confront both human and inhuman foes. But as the lamplights flicker in the encroaching darkness, the line between reality and madness blurs, and Danforth must decide: will he succumb to the horrors that haunt him, or will he unravel the mysteries hidden in the shadows of the Carpathians before it’s too late?

The Horror in the Lamplights is a chilling tale that combines Lovecraftian horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos, World War II espionage, and Gothic suspense that will leave you pondering what lies beyond the veil of this world.
