Pictures of You

A chilling psychological nightmare from the author of Bird Box

De: 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 confused as she is scared. But it’s immediately clear that she is trapped – and that Jack’s life is on the line along with her own.

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 final word – and have you thinking of the destructive cost of art long after.
