A HAMMER-ESQUE, ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF A NOVEL SET ON THE NIGHT OF THE DEVASTATING STORM OF 1987.

'All who turn the pages of Satan's Lamp - and surrender to the story - will not be disappointed.' ~ LINDA HAYDEN

Satan's Lamp is William Jackson’s debut novel, a gay horror narrative set on a lonely rock lighthouse on the night of the Great Storm of 1987.

Devil's Rock is the bleakest lighthouse station of all, 15 miles south-west of Cornwall's Lizard Point. It is a lonely rock believed by superstitious locals to be haunted. That's why they call it‘Satan's Lamp’.

Young Jabe Walker, a rookie keeper, is plagued by nightmares of his abusive father - the father Jabe killed when he was just ten years old.

Now it is the 15th of October 1987 and one of the most violent storms in history is about to strike the English coast. On this night Jabe is forced to confront his violent past.

His father, in all his violent fury, is back from the dead and hell-bent on revenge.
