The Man in the Picture (Ghost Stories)

By CNP

An extraordinary ghost story from a modern master, published just in time for Halloween. In the apartment of Oliver’s old professor at Cambridge, there is a painting on the wall, a mysterious depiction of masked revelers at the Venice carnival. On this cold winter’s night, the old professor has decided to reveal the painting’s eerie secret. The dark art of the Venetian scene, instead of imitating life, has the power to entrap it. To stare into the painting is to play dangerously with the unseen demons it hides, and become the victim of its macabre beauty.By the renowned storyteller Susan Hill-whose first ghost story, The Woman in Black, has run for eighteen years as a play in London’s West End-here is a new take on a form that is fully classical and, in Hill’s able hands, newly vital. The Man in the Picture is a haunting tale of loss, love, and the very basest fear of our beings.Credit: Goodreads
