The Macabre

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...
