Welcome to Lost Lantern, MO (You Probably Shouldn't Have Come)
Lost Lantern is the kind of town that doesn't show up on maps the way it should. The streets are familiar until they aren't. The coffee is strong because it has to be. The truth has teeth, and it bites when you least expect it.
This is where Ink, Flame, & Bone lives.
Lost Lantern, Missouri isn't a haunted town in the way you're probably picturing. It's not full of jump scares and rattling chains. It's quieter than that. Stranger. The kind of place where the wrong question opens a door you didn't know was there — and closing it again isn't guaranteed.
It's a town where the dead don't always stay quiet, where the past lives in pieces, and where a secret kept long enough starts to take on a shape of its own.
I've been building this world for a while. It's darker than anything I've written before, and funnier, too — because sometimes those two things are the same thing.
Ink, Flame, & Bone is coming. In the meantime, Shadow Howl has already given you her assessment of the town's survival odds. She is not optimistic. She is also not wrong.
Stay curious. Watch your step.
