An unforgettable tale about the nightmarish cost of artistic ambition from horror superstar Josh Malerman.
A woman becomes the unknowing subject of an artist's dangerous work in this intense Hitchcockian horror from Josh Malerman, the New York Times bestselling author of Incidents Around the House.
After a magical night out on the town with her fiancée Jack, Emily wakes alone in a huge bed situated in a beautiful, well-lit room. But the pink ceiling, the mauve walls, and the deep, dark corners are nothing like the hotel she and Jack rented. More worrisome yet: Emily has no memory of this place from the night before.
A woman's voice directs her to remain in bed. And beyond the end of the bed, a picture frame upon an easel - a frame with no canvas, no painting, no art. Only there is the silhouette of a person Emily does not recognize. A person emanating demand, danger, evil. And the way the woman talks. She's acting as if Emily herself is the painting. The still life. The art.
Emily is as scared as she is confused. But it's immediately clear Jack's life is on the line along with her own. And if she attempts to escape the bed and the wood frame of this nightmare masterwork, neither will survive the experience.
The clock is ticking...
For Emily.
For Jack.
For being forever trapped.
Pictures of You is an unforgettable tale of terror that will chill you until the last page - and have you thinking of the destructive cost of art long after.
