About this title

Synopsis

What if the only way to feel alive... was to destroy yourself?

Sunny is drifting. Unseen, untouched, and quietly unraveling within the shadows of a college campus, he walks through life like a ghost—numbed by grief, isolated by routine, and addicted to his own comfort. But when a chance encounter with a girl named Alex breaks through his solitude, everything begins to shift.

Alex is a contradiction: sarcastic yet soft, mysterious yet painfully familiar. Together, the two form a fragile companionship bound by cigarettes, silence, and shared wounds. But beneath the surface of casual smoke breaks and late-night talks lies something deeper—an unspoken war against the darkness inside.

As the line between coping and collapse begins to blur, Sunny is forced to confront his past, his grief, and the parts of himself he's long buried. In a world where nothing makes sense and healing seems like a myth, is it possible to find meaning in another broken soul?

Midnight Catalyst is a raw, emotionally charged coming-of-age novella that explores mental health, self-destruction, and the fragile beauty of connection in the darkest hours. Perfect for fans of introspective literary fiction, college dramas, and psychological realism.

If you've ever felt alone in a crowded room, this book is for you.
