The Lanterns of Blackmere
In the drowned border town of Blackmere, lanterns are kept lit to keep the dead from remembering the living. When a clerk with a damaged memory discovers the lamps are being fed with names instead of oil, he is pulled into a quiet, bureaucratic conspiracy that has been hiding a much older bargain. The town’s safety depends on a lie, and the lie is starting to fail.
