The Man in the Picture

Remember The Picture of Dorian Gray? Reading the above mentioned book brings it to mind. It involves a picture and there are scary aspects to it, but that's where the similarities stop.

It will immediately get your attention. A young man visits his retired professor. While there, the professor tells a tale that has burdened him for ages. He tells a story of mystery, horror and fantasy; that is wrapped around a painting that hangs in the professors rooms. I won't tell you more except to say the ending is very Edgar Allan Poe like.

Read The Man in the Picture for yourself and enjoy a "different" type of ghost story.
