Brighter
V. J. Chambers
Five years ago, when Ramona Brinks was a freshman in college, Garrett Hillard raped a girl.
At
least that's what the girl said anyway, and that's why the guys in town
got together and introduced Garrett to their fists. They told him in no
uncertain terms to leave and stay gone.
Garrett's back in town.
And
Ramona finds herself drawn to the social pariah, especially after he
tells her that he didn't rape anyone. Instead, he saw the girl get
killed. Of course, that's clearly crazy. The girl isn't dead.
But
Ramona's been feeling a little crazy herself lately. She had a
conversation with her neighbor, only to find out later that while they
were chatting, her neighbor's dead body was washing up from a shallow
grave..
Ramona Brinks is barely surviving her post-college angst, struggling to balance her partying with her job and her love life. She wants to move out and grow up. She doesn't want to worry about the fact she's seen a dead girl walking around in Elston or that she's seen pictures indicating certain people in town haven't aged in 60 years. She doesn't want to be bothered by nagging evidence that something ancient and evil is at work in town. But when someone locks her in a basement because she's asking too many questions, she can't help but begin searching for answers in earnest.
As Ramona digs deeper, she begins to uncover a world underneath the seemingly quiet small town's veneer. A realm of violent deaths and vengeful creatures, protecting a source of ancient power. Beneath the surface of her twentysomething culture--kids playing at being adults, existing on cigarettes, bars, and caffeine--something far more sinister is at work. And whatever it is, it doesn't seem to want Ramona to leave.
