My favorite book

This is my favorite book that I read years ago that I just can't forget about and would like to share on my blog It is hard to find a book that you just can't put down, I have a few others that I will share later, I will add to my favorite books link.

Snubbed by art critics and collectors alike, Nicholas Hood sees suicide as his only recourse. His paintings are unique, unsettling . . . and unsalable—graphic oil-on-canvas depictions of violent death set against serene Manhattan backdrops.
But at the lowest depths of his despair, the artist meets Bellisle, a hideously deformed dwarf with bizarre precognitive powers. The strange little man points Hood toward grisly scenes of urban horror—offering the tortured painter gruesome inspiration for his nightmare visions. Hood becomes more and more successful, but he will soon pay a terrible price.
