The novel's title draws its inspiration from the famous opening lines spoken by the Three Witches in William Shakespeare's Macbeth. In this story, the ghost light—a traditional single bulb left burning on a dark theater stage—serves as a supernatural portal. The plot follows a protagonist named Lydia, whose spirit is pulled through the ghost light's portal, transporting her back in time to New York City's Bowery Theatre in the year 1849.
