The Tortured Artist
About this audiobook
Lily Dare had always been drawn to the darker side of life. As a child, while other kids played with colorful toys, she preferred to sketch twisted trees and stormy skies. Her parents, both successful corporate lawyers, were concerned by her macabre interests but chalked it up to a phase she'd outgrow.
But Lily never did. In high school, she became known for her haunting charcoal drawings and disturbing sculptures. Her art teachers praised her technical skill but worried about the content. Lily found solace in the works of Goya, Munch, and Beksiński, artists who weren't afraid to confront the shadows of the human psyche.
Despite her parents' objections, Lily pursued a fine arts degree in college. It was there that she first heard whispers of the old Blackwood House. Rumors circulated among the art students of a place that could inspire the most profound and terrifying creations. Some spoke of it with reverence, others with fear.
Lily's obsession with the house grew as her own artistic inspiration waned. Her once-praised works now felt hollow, lacking the visceral impact she craved. She knew she needed something more, something that would push her art to new, terrifying heights.
After graduation, faced with mounting student debt and a lack of recognition in the art world, Lily made her decision. Against the pleas of her few friends and the exasperation of her parents, she set out to find the Blackwood House, convinced it held the key to unlocking her true potential as an artist.
Little did she know the price she would pay for such inspiration.
