Curl up with a dark debut novel that early readers are calling "Beautifully written" -- "A 'Must Read'" -- "Super creepy" -- "Amazing"
For art professor Daniel Rineheart life's a dream His family's laughter fills the halls of his home and his wife's embrace lulls him to sleep But summer's end heralds the arrival of three disturbing omens A lost bird thousands of miles from home A beautiful student with whom he shares an insidious past
and a mysterious painting dripping with secrets
It wasn't the strangest creation he'd ever seen but close A girl with a wounded sack-like face; a boy with pinhole eyes and a cruel sneer; and a distant shadow peering out from behind a dying tree all stared back at him from that perfect painted canvas
Yet it wasn't only the subjects that challenged him but the riddle that came with it
"Here in Art Denial"
Four words shrouding a secret that awakens a surreal nightmare Where objects from his past manifest in canvas and oil Where painted clocks tick-tock away in the dark hours before dawn and a missing dog whimpers from between the walls Where the painted children leave the canvas to stalk the halls of his once quiet and happy home
And where all answers lead back to a blind artist and an impossible creation one that threatens to destroy his family and devour his sanity
Fans of Stephen King Clive Barker and Peter Straub will find this debut novel written for them FORSAKEN is a throwback to the haunted tales that seep beneath the skin and slowly come to a boil sticking with the reader long after the cover is closed and the story is over
It's a dark descent into madness from the happy home next door into a world of painted chaos that blends the line between the psychological and the supernatural where the blind see far beyond the living veil and where an artist's creation births an evil from the cold beyond Take a journey into the surreal with FORSAKEN
