Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a true story of a painting called 'the crying boy' painted by Bruno Amadio after the second world war. The portrait represented the children orphaned by the war. The pictures made their way to Britain. But over time the portraits were believed to be cursed-after many were found unscathed from within house fires.
My story is fictional and has no connection to the facts of the pictures that were soon thought of as cursed. It begins in 1915 when children go missing in a residential area of Deadwood in Pinestork. Soon a body of a man is found at his burnt down house with a painting which survived the fire which resembles one of the missing children. Many decades on. The ghost of one of the children tries to warn a blind girl of an evil that lurks beyond the cursed painting of The Crying Boy.
