'With prose as vivid as oil paints, Gibson creates a study in obsession, competition, and the cost of ambition. Darkly romantic and deliciously moody, Man, Muse, Monster will haunt you' - Allison Saft, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Dark and Drowning Tide

Make me your world, Harry Alexander

For over a century, the Great Alexanders have been celebrated for their musical, literary and artistic talents. Harry Alexander, the last and youngest of the family, will do anything to be counted amongst them.

But Harry is a struggling art student and on the brink of losing his family inheritance and the Alexanders' ancestral home, Ashburn Hall. Greatness never felt further out of reach.

Then, he stumbles upon the source of his family's success: a muse. This supernatural being trapped in paint and canvas steps into Harry's life in the form of a handsome young man . . . as dangerous as he is beautiful, as capricious as he is inspiring.

As the artist and the muse grow ever closer, Harry's artistic reputation soars. But muses are made, not born, and Harry's has a dark and bloody origin. And when enemies begin to emerge from the shadows, hungry for fame of their own, Harry will finally have to confront the true cost of greatness . . .

Every masterpiece demands sacrifice in this devastatingly alluring dark academia horrormance about the torments of creative ambition and family legacies. Perfect for fans of Ava Reid, M.L. Rio and Leigh Bardugo.
