Publisher's summary

Winner of 14 awards.

His pen and his sword are both mighty. When he loses his inspiration, he'll drench the town in blood to get it back.

Hugely successful horror author Jack Court has a chilling secret. When he's not writing best sellers, he murders the innocent to satisfy the twisted whims of a symbiotic creature who lives within him. But, after a sheriff out for justice chases him into the path of an oncoming car, the beast escapes the writer's injured body in search of another host.

Harry Goodwine's words have never supported his family the way he knows they deserve. Just when he's given up hope, he suddenly receives inspiration from something new inside of him. Harry's unexpected success may just mean a new life for the ones he loves as long as he can ignore the unfamiliar internal voice and the endless dreams of blood.

Without the symbiont to maintain his vitality, Jack becomes something different. Something not quite human. Something that's willing to kill anyone in its path to reunite with the creature that will help fulfill its darkest desires...

The Muse is a stand-alone horror thriller that's bound to give you nightmares. If you like supernatural suspense, chilling creatures, and dark plots come to life, then you'll love Arjay Lewis' award-winning nail-biter of a novel.

What if your inspiration was actually a monster?

This is the first audiobook I have listened to by this author although i have read several of his other books so i had an idea of what to expect. i was not disappointed! This was a fun story that was part horror and part mystery. There is a serial killer out there and he has killed the wife of the sheriff. The sheriff naturally does everything he can to track the killer down. There is a problem though. I dont want to tell too much but if you like your horror of the supernatural variety you will probably enjoy this. The story ends, no annoying cliffhanger. Be careful which characters you get attached to since they all don't make it. An entertaining story for adults with so.e gore but not an excessive amount. The author provides the narration and does a really good job of it.

A writer's thriller!

Great listen! Simple, straightforward writing and a great story. With the theme of writing; in particular the mysteries of creativity and the fugue-state familiar to any artist completely entrenched in his work, this book is a writer's thriller. A must for King fans!

The audio was particularly good. The author did a fantastic job, and it was great to hear this book as he intended it to be performed. Very well done all around. Highly recommended!

A monster/ parasite serial killer

The Muse
A Novel of Unrelenting Terror
By: Arjay Lewis
Narrated by: Arjay Lewis
I expected more with all the awards this book won. It was good but not excellent. Mystery, horror, creature, and a parasite type monster that is in a serial killer. Action, suspense, gore, and more kept the book going.
The author narrated the book and did a good job.
