"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." - Henry Ward Beecher.

So does our protagonist. With the purpose of giving new eternal life to the people around him, he creates his masterpieces. A life devoted to the noble cause of defying death and time.

Wandering this lonely path, he stumbles upon his next muse.

Anyhow, things soon turn hectic, and they will both struggle to come out of it alive.

A thriller with macabre and horror undertones, where the line between life and death gets blurred by the page and a lingering tension that will climax at the end.


Based off @/Dolores.zsiga's writing prompt on instagram "at a museum people can take pictures with celebrities made out of wax, they're not made out of wax, they're corpses".
