Neil Barton makes monsters for a living.
After fourteen volumes of his bestselling Deadlight series, fear has become routine-until he buys a bottle of strange black ink from a vendor in the Undermarket. The first creature Neil draws with it is brilliant, terrifying, and alive in a way no artwork should be.
Then the same creature appears at a distant research outpost.
Forty-one people die.
When Galactic Security investigator Kelsey Sanger knocks on Neil's door, she expects a criminal. What she finds is an artist trapped in a nightmare of his own making. Every monster Neil has ever drawn may now be real, and the only way to stop them is to draw something stronger.
But heroes have a cost.
As Neil and Kelsey uncover the ancient truth behind the ink, they learn it is more than a tool, more than a curse-it is the last unfinished memory of a civilization that turned art into war. To end the horrors spreading across the stars, Neil must create one final image... and risk putting everything he is onto the page.
The Art of Monsters is a sci-fi horror thriller about imagination, guilt, love, and the terrible price of creation.
