Pictures of You - by Josh Malerman (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A woman becomes the subject of an artist's mysterious experiment in this intense and dreamlike supernatural thriller from Josh Malerman, bestselling author of Incidents Around the House

Emily's picture of her life is about to change: She's madly in love with her new boyfriend, Jack. And they are about to embark on a life together.

But then everything changes: She wakes up from an ecstatic night out with Jack to find herself in a strange hotel room, with Jack nowhere to be found. When she tries to leave the room, she discovers it's inside a picture frame.

And on the other side of the frame is a strange woman who says she is an artist--and that Emily is her work of art, her masterpiece.

Now Emily must find Jack and escape from the painting and the artist's diabolical vision. Before she was trapped in this nightmarish experiment, Emily's life was about to begin--but is she now doomed to her life becoming someone else's creation?

Josh Malerman's unforgettable and terrifying Incidents Around the House changed the game for horror--and now Malerman has done it again. Pictures of You is a spine-chilling tale of terror that will keep you guessing until the last page--and thinking of the heroine's search for love and meaning of art long after.
