The Brume is a gothic tale of war, sacrifice, and the peril of seeing only part of the truth.

As a strange fog creeps across war-torn Georgia in an alternate nineteenth century, the Beaumont siblings shelter themselves-and a handful of wounded strangers-inside their ancestral home. But the brume is no ordinary mist. It blinds, deceives, and draws something ancient and predatory out of the violence already consuming the land.

When a young outsider arrives with impossible knowledge and an unsettling calm, the family is forced to confront realities larger than their home, their country, and even their world. As the fog tightens and the creature within it begins to hunt, survival will demand trust, courage, and a willingness to surrender certainty-no matter the cost.

Blending Southern Gothic atmosphere with quiet cosmic horror, The Brume echoes the moral unease of Shirley Jackson, the ambiguity of Henry James, and the intimate dread of Robert Aickman, favoring implication over spectacle and faith over control.

Haunting, reflective, and deeply human, The Brume explores what it means to see clearly when vision itself cannot be trusted-and what may yet be saved when we place our lives in hands larger than our own.
