Synopsis

A picture is worth a thousand nightmares…

The twisty and compelling adult dark fantasy debut from award-winning author Kosoko Jackson.

Struggling painter Lewis Dixon can't shake the feeling there's something powerful - and slightly disturbing - about his work. Especially when the British Museum begin to show a surprising interest in his most horrifying piece, a recreation of one of his ancestor's infamous paintings.

He accepts their invitation only to be met with a test: to see if he possesses the magic necessary to enter the paintings - and the strength to escape them. Because his ancestor's pieces carry unnatural abilities and a terrible curse. And Lewis must destroy them all.

Under orders from the museum and partnered with handsome agent Noah, Lewis plunges into a world of black markets, gothic magic, and unspeakable terror. But if he's to succeed, he'll have to locate the long-lost final work, and its powers might be the most devastating of all…
