A new short story of horror, from USA Today bestselling author Robert Swartwood.

PRAISE FOR ROBERT SWARTWOOD

"Robert Swartwood is the next F. Paul Wilson — if F. Paul Wilson's DNA was spliced with Michael Marshall Smith. If you haven't yet read Swartwood, you're missing out."
—Brian Keene

"Robert Swartwood is a sharp writer, his prose lean and mean as a razor blade. He notches up the tension from chapter to chapter like a master story-teller, keeping you reading long into the night."
—The Man Eating Bookworm

"An exceptional novelist."
—Douglas Clegg

"This is a scary, thrilling, page-turning, race-against-the-clock novel if ever there was one, with a true shocker of an ending. Miss this one at your own peril."
—Blake Crouch on THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE

"MAN OF WAX grabs you by the throat in the first chapter and never lets go. A suspense-filled thrill ride with plenty of shocks along the way. Read it!"
—F. Paul Wilson

"Excellent — memorable and something I'll read more than once."
—Roxane Gay on NO SHELTER
