The Bridge

A stalled car. A missing man. A haunted bridge that won't let go. Every town has its ghost stories. They meant to keep driving. One night, no sleep, the road unwinding through the foothills. But when Emily and Kade's Ford dies on an old, covered bridge, they stumble into a town full of ghost stories and whispered legends. Locals call it Snakebite Bridge. Some say it's haunted. Others claim the devil himself lives there. Only last month, a man vanished after his car stalled in the same place, and no one can agree on what really happened to him. In the daylight, the bridge looks harmless. At night, it feels wrong—longer than it should be, shadows stretching, and voices rising from the muddy water below. Like a place caught between life and death. As Emily accidentally begins piecing together the truth, while Kade revives their car, she quickly realizes some folktales are told to hide something worse. Now she and Kade must decide. Do they keep running from the past or uncover what really happened on Snakebite Bridge—before it happens again. The Bridge is a chilling psychological horror novella with a self-contained mystery, perfect for fans of ghost stories, cult thrillers, and slow-burn haunted romance.
