The lamp, simple and beautiful, had the quality of revealing that which one might wish to hide.
Judy Troupe loved the lamp, bought it and brought it home to provide soft illumination for a night of love with her husband. What it revealed was a dark secret that she didn't even know the full extent.
The dark fantasy short story collections, Five Tales of the Flea Market, Volume One and Ten Tales of the Flea Market contain this short story.
