The Lost Film

Two novellas, a shared theme...

Lantern Rock, by Stephen Bacon

When Paul Madigan accepts an invitation to interview a reclusive film director, he has no idea of the effect his actions will trigger. Sometimes the past is better to remain buried. Some secrets deserve to remain untold.

Lantern Rock lies several miles off the Cornish coast, accessible via a narrow causeway. Home to Lionel Rutherford for over 40 years, the island stands as far more than just the family home of an ageing horror director. The place has a macabre history, filled with sorrow and madness.

With a mysterious woman in tow and an approaching storm set to isolate them from the mainland, Madigan realises that the secrets he has uncovered will have far-reaching consequences for the lives of them all.

The Lost Film, by Mark West

Gabriel Bird, a private detective, is hired to find Roger Sinclair, an exploitation film-maker from the 1970s.

When Roger Sinclair began to see Monochromatics in a London made fraught by the heatwave, he realised that in them he had the basis for his magnum opus “Terrafly”. The last film he ever made, it had the power to drive people mad and clips of it are starting to appear on the Internet.

Now, as Bird delves deeper into the case, meeting Sinclair's old colleagues and finding out about the Monochromatics, he quickly understands why “Terrafly” might just be the most dangerous film ever made.
