Summary

 Under the amber glow of a hurricane lantern in a dusty attic, Luna opens a worn hardcover and reads stories that are not meant to be read alone. Each episode of The Lantern Anthology is a self-contained tale drawn from a fictional collection of lost and forbidden literature — forgotten folklore, abandoned manuscripts, letters never sent. The stories wander through isolated farmhouses at dusk, towns swallowed by forest, and roads that appear only on maps no one remembers drawing. Some whisper of bargains made with creatures beneath the floorboards; others speak of inheritances that should have been refused. There is no single arc, only the quiet certainty that the next story might be the one that follows you home. Luna's voice is a low, unhurried presence, as if she knows you are listening in the dark. Settle in. The lamp is lit, and the pages are turning.

  • The Last Summer at Camp Gilead — Fexingo Horror

    The Last Summer at Camp Gilead — Fexingo Horror
    May 11 2026
    In the summer of 1987, Luna spent two weeks as a counselor at Camp Gilead, a sleepy overnight camp tucked into the pine woods of northern Minnesota. The place was supposed to be a reprieve from everything—a freshwater lake, canoeing, campfire songs. But by the third night, the campers started talking about a bird they saw at dusk, a bird too large and too quiet, with eyes like cracked mirrors. Luna dismissed it as tall tales until she saw it herself, perched on the roof of the dining hall, watching her. And then she learned that Camp Gilead had been built on something older than the treaties, something that woke up when the lake ice broke. This is the story of what followed—the nightly rituals, the missing whistle, and the last night of summer.

  • The Season of the Paper Moon at Big Cypress Lodge — Fexingo Horror

    The Season of the Paper Moon at Big Cypress Lodge — Fexingo Horror
    May 10 2026
    Luna recalls a summer job at Big Cypress Lodge, a decaying resort town in the Florida Panhandle, where the full moon hung for three weeks in 1997. It was the season the guests stopped leaving, the season the paper cutouts appeared, the season the real moon vanished and something else rose in its place. This is the story of the girl who folded the moon into paper and pinned it to the sky, and the quiet that settled over the cypress swamp long after the last light went out. No one talks about it now. No one goes near the lodge. But Luna remembers the smell of wet paper and the way the night birds fell silent, one by one, until all that was left was the paper moon—still shining, still watching.

  • The Hollow That Sang at Midnight — Fexingo Horror

    The Hollow That Sang at Midnight — Fexingo Horror
    May 9 2026
    In the autumn of 2019, I spent a week in the small town of Marrow, Missouri—a place you won't find on any map. I was cataloging old folk songs, but what I found was a melody that should never have been recorded. This is the story of the gravel pit on Old Three Notch Road, the woman who lived alone at the end of the lane, and the song that played backward at midnight. I still hear it sometimes, when the wind is just right. I don't know who was singing. I don't think it was a person. If you ever drive through Marrow, do not stop. Do not roll down your window. And whatever you do, do not listen to the gravel.
