San Francisco, 1969

The city pulses with revolution, resistance, and the roar of spray cans in midnight alleys. Rafael "Rafe" Vega, a gifted but haunted graffiti artist, lives on the edge of obscurity and brilliance—until the night one of his murals moves.

And watches him back.

When his drawings begin to come alive after dark, Rafe is thrust into a terrifying mystery that bleeds across walls, streets, and minds. Whispers haunt his dreams. Murals vanish. Fellow artists go missing. At the heart of it all stands a shadowy figure in a wide-brimmed hat—The Watcher, a supernatural entity feeding on fear, memory, and creation itself.

As the boundary between art and reality shatters, Rafe must confront the darkness he's been unknowingly channeling—an entity that knows him better than he knows himself. With the help of an aging bruja and a loyal friend caught in the crossfire, he races to unravel the truth before the Watcher crosses fully into the world... and turns the city into its canvas.

A dark psychological thriller in the spirit of Stephen King and Clive Barker, The Mural of Teeth and Light is a chilling exploration of creativity, queerness, grief, and the monsters we make when no one else is watching.
