A beautiful house, a loving wife. Two kids, a dog, and a professorship teaching art restoration at the local university. Your name is Dan Rineheart. You've got it all.
...BUT ALL DREAMS MUST END.
On the cusp of autumn a mysterious painting arrives. No name. No date. No signature or frame.  Only a note that reads: Here in art, denial. It's a disturbing work of grotesque perfection; two children with cruel eyes, a window onto an endless field, and a dying tree on top of a hill.  A work of art... that changes with each viewing.
SO BEGINS THE NIGHTMARE...
...Where wretched children crawl from a canvas prison to stalk the quiet halls of this happy home.
...Where painted clocks tick-tock away in the dark hours before dawn, and a missing dog whimpers from between the walls.
...Where all answers lead to a dark artist and an impossible creation, a cursed canvas with a twisted past...
...AND A HORROR THAT WILL DEVOUR ALL.
Curl up, if you dare, with a dark novel readers are calling: "Beautifully written" -- "A Must Read!" -- "Stunning" -- "The Scariest book EVER!" Â
FORSAKEN is an intelligent blend of ghost story, suburban supernatural thriller, haunted house, and mystery. Perfectly written for fans of early Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Peter Straub, it's a terrifying tale of secrets and lies, of nightmares made flesh; where the scariest stories are the ones that coldly whisper into your ear until madness and death are a welcome gift.
Lock your door. Turn on the lights. Do NOT read FORSAKEN late at night
