Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan

If you want to read about the ways a bookstore or library - and not the books inside - can scare you, here are eight novels to get you started. MIDNIGHT AT THE BRIGHT IDEAS BOOKSTORE by Matthew Juksan Sullivan RELEASE DATE: JA woman must revisit a 20-year-old tragedy after a young man commits suicide in the bookstore where she works. Have used the darkness and the silence and the wandering as a way to heighten tension rather than relieve it.

The quiet is only comforting until you want - no, need - someone around to help you.Īnd some authors have tapped into that fear, turning the places we love so dearly into an accomplice to a crime. A scream in the silence, eyes peering from the other side of the spines. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore Author Matthew Sullivan Edition reprint Publisher Random House, 2017 ISBN 1473540003, 9781473540002 Length 336 pages Subjects Fiction Thrillers Suspense. With all of that time spent in the quiet of a library or lost in the shelves on a darkening afternoon, I realize just how quickly that setting can turn sinister. Libraries, bookstores, they’re my favorite places in the world! I’ve spent many an hour with my head tilted sideways, reading every title on the shelves of the library or hunched on the floor, flipping through a book before buying it at my favorite bookstore. But Im not going to complain too much because I enjoyed the heck out of this book, and hope to read more from Matthew Sullivan in the future. They’re where we go when we have too much to do, or we’re going through something, or just need to escape for a while. For those of us who grew up obsessed with books, taking trips to the library every chance we got and memorizing the check-out limit, books have always been our safe spaces.
