""Finally! A true horror novel!"" 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!

The horror aspects of this book was excellent. Can‘t say I feel for Daniel though. He had it coming. I wish there was more to the execution of the plot, I think there should have been more to the Mabel story than just planting her there for convenience. I say take it or leave it with this one.

I got this book for free on a whim and it is one of my top 10. I didn't know what I was getting into but I couldn't put it down once I started.
