The Painted Darkness<\/strong>
\nby Brian James Freeman<\/p>\n

Featuring an exclusive introduction by Brian Keene<\/p>\n

About the Book:
\n<\/strong>When Henry was a child, something terrible happened in the woods behind his home, something so shocking he could only express his terror by drawing pictures of what he had witnessed. Eventually, Henry’s mind blocked out the bad memories, but he continued to draw, often at night by the light of the moon.<\/p>\n

Twenty years later, Henry makes his living by painting his disturbing works of art. He loves his wife and his son, and life couldn’t be better… except there’s something not quite right about the old stone farmhouse his family now calls home. There’s something strange living in the cramped cellar, in the maze of pipes that feed the ancient steam boiler.<\/p>\n

A winter storm is brewing, and soon Henry will learn the true nature of the monster waiting for him down in the darkness. He will battle this demon and, in the process, he may discover what really happened when he was a child \u2014 and why, in times of trouble, he thinks: I paint<\/em> against the darkness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But will Henry learn the truth in time to avoid the terrible fate awaiting him… or will the thing in the cellar get him and his family first?<\/p>\n

Written as both a meditation on the art of creation and as an examination of the secret fears we all share, The Painted Darkness<\/em> is a terrifying look at the true cost we pay when we run from our grief \u2014 and what happens when we’re finally forced to confront the monsters we know all too well.<\/p>\n
