I Bought a Creepy Painting in an Online Auction. There's Something Horribly Wrong with it... (Story Notes)

Welcome to r/jgcreepypastas please consider joining the subreddit!

Spoilers ahead!

Please check out my newest nosleep story here before proceeding further.

This post was inspired by a suggestion from a family member - I had considered doing a story about a haunted painting in the past but I suddenly got a great idea for how it could work.

Aspects were also inspired by some great books I've read over the years such as the terrifying "Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill (the opening scene), and Stephen King's "Duma Key" which are both excellent.

I'm an artist myself as well as an amateur painter so this one was fun to write from that perspective as well.

OP also has my dream job in the story and works as a professional writer for a living. I'd love to be able to pay all my bills with my writing but I'm not quite there yet! Maybe one day.

If you enjoy my writing and would like to show your support by purchasing one of my books, I greatly appreciate it! I have a novel titled Beneath the Asylum out now published by Manor House. Also I just released a horror short story collection which is available now on Amazon. Here's the link

Both are available free with Kindle unlimited.

Thanks everyone for reading!
