In The Macabre, award-winning author Kosoko Jackson delivers a darkly imaginative tale of art, magic, and destiny. For struggling painter Lewis Dixon, art has always been a private refuge. But when the British Museum takes interest in his work after his mother’s death, he discovers it isn’t for an exhibition- it’s a test. His ecstatic, trance-like state while painting is more than creative passion; it’s magic. Lewis can enter a series of nine mysterious paintings created by his great-grandfather, each imbued with dangerous, world-altering power. Tasked with destroying the paintings before they fall into the wrong hands, Lewis teams up with enigmatic agent Noah Rao and journeys across continents and even through time. As black markets, cursed objects, and ancient secrets close in, Lewis must find the courage to embrace his gift, his heart, and his place in a world where art can both save and destroy.
A bold, haunting debut, The Macabre is as thrilling as it is unforgettable.
