When Herbie and Violet's arch-enemy Sebastian Eels turns up in Eerie-on-Sea, seemingly back from the dead, it can only spell bad news. The town may welcome his entrepreneurial scheme to resurrect Festergrimm's Waxworks, a dusty and defunct old gallery of spooky characters from Eerie legend, but Herbie and Violet are suspicious of his motives. And when they learn the legend of Ludo Festergrimm the clockmaker, creator of a vast mechanical robot that wrought havoc in the wrong hands, they KNOW they're on the right track. But how can they get the residents of Eerie-on-Sea to believe them?
Tel un Shakespeare de la philosophie, Platon a produit ici comédies, violences, sublimes aperçus, que retient au sol l'ironie de Socrate, les bouffonneries même ( le juste est 729 fois plus heureux que le tyran ; l'eugénisme est lié au chiffre 12 960 000 ... ). La République jette le lecteur dans un fleuve d'Amazonie, un fleuve des mots aux fresques renouvelées, insolites, sans berge repérable, où donc il se plonge comme dans un Déluge de jouvence, ballotté, happé, roulé, perdant le souffle parfois, irrité et incapable de s'arrêter de lire - sur la divinité, sur soi, sur la vie politique, bien sûr, de façon terriblement actuelle et folle en même temps - amarré il restera cependant à ce point de passion et de raison, le désir, le désir du Meilleur.

Herbert Lemon, osierocony rozbitek prowadzący Biuro Rzeczy Znalezionych w hotelu Grand Nautilus, staje przed kolejnym wyzwaniem – tym razem musi się zmierzyć ze stworem z miejskich legend i… z duchami swojej przeszłości. Gdy w innych miastach obchodzi się Halloween, w Widmowym Porcie nastaje Upiorna Noc, podczas której na mieszkańców miasteczka czyha ponura zjawa ukryta w lampionie. Jak głosi legenda, jeśli nie zapalą oni wówczas świeczek, a na przystani nie odbędzie się spektakl teatru cieni, które należy złożyć w ofierze Cienistemu Upiorowi, ten schwyta i pochłonie cienie żyjących. Tym razem sprowadzono zawodową trupę teatralną, której członkini Caliastra, magiczka o kruczoczarnych włosach, wie zaskakująco dużo o pochodzeniu Herbiego. Ledwie aktorzy zameldują się w hotelu, mieszkańcy miasteczka zaczną znikać – w tym opiekunka Violet Parmy, najlepszej przyjaciółki Herbiego. Violet i Herbie muszą odkryć, co jest prawdą, a co sztuczką, i rozwiązać zagadkę lampionu Cienistego Upiora – zanim wszystkich pochłonie ciemność.
