A cursed painting...
A hidden affair...
And an undying secret... alive, in canvas and oil.
For art professor Dan Rineheart, life's a dream. His children's laughter fills the halls of his home, and his wife's embrace lulls him to sleep.
But this summer's end heralds the arrival of three ill omens: a lost bird, thousands of miles from home; a beautiful student with whom he shares an insidious past...
...and a mysterious painting, a disturbing work of grotesque perfection that awakens a surreal nightmare.
Enter the world of FORSAKEN, where evil lives in art.
Where sinister children emerge from a canvas prison to stalk the nighttime halls of a happy home.
Where painted clocks tick-tock away in the dark hours before dawn, and a missing dog whimpers from between the walls.
And where all answers lead to a dark artist and an impossible creation, a cursed canvas with a twisted past that threatens to destroy his family, devour his sanity, and consume all that lay eyes upon it.
Curl up, if you dare, with a dark debut novel that readers are calling: "Beautifully written" -- "A 'Must Read'" -- "Super creepy" -- "Amazing!"
Fans of Clive Barker, Stephen King, and Peter Straub will find this dark novel written for them. FORSAKEN is a throwback to the dark tales that seep beneath the skin and come to a boil, where the real and surreal blend together, and the words within are best not read before bed!
