The Ghost Trap - A Maine Lobstering Novel

The Ghost Trap is the haunting story of Jamie Eugley, a young lobsterman struggling with the grinding responsibilities of a head-injured fiancée and mounting trap wars. It is a modern tale with an old-fashioned hero, who puts family and heritage before himself. In the end, it’s not just about lobstering, but about one man’s sorrow for not appreciating the love he had, however damaged. Written with sensitivity and rich description, this is a piercingly accurate depiction of life in a small Maine lobstering community.
A rugged and tender tale. Bawdy humor, snappy dialogue, colorful sea myths and rich lobstering details add to the immense appeal of this textured narrative about a lobsterman’s inward and outward struggles.
--Publishers Weekly
“Stephens gives the reader an unvarnished view of the subculture of lobster fishermen in small-town coastal Maine.”
—James Acheson, author of The Lobster Gangs of Maine
