In a mist-wrapped tourist town, Elijah Brightside runs a rare-book café built on order and silence.
When a brash local treats beauty and people like they're disposable, whispers of disappearances thicken.
The town remembers every slight-and someone intends to balance the scales.
Dark, atmospheric, and hypnotic, Mr. Brightside blends the intimate tension of Caroline Kepnes's You with the brooding dread of classic gothic horror. A short, razor-sharp tale of obsession and consequence where civility can turn lethal.
