The Painted Darkness is a short novella about Henry, a person with an overactive imagination. The story alternates between present day, where Henry – now a man and an accomplished artist and his five year old self.

Book Review: The Painted Darkness by Brian James Freeman

When Henry was five he experienced and witnessed a terrifying event which he could only express through art

which deals with his trauma. Overtime Henry’s mind blocked out the bad memories but continues to be haunted by his own private demons.

The story takes place mostly over a day in the life of the young and the adult Henry.

As we all know, whether or own demons are real or not does not matter, they are real to us and to Henry as well. Twenty years later Henry is confronted by his demons in an old farm house with a strange and brooding basement.

The story is a very imaginative piece and the marketing is brilliant. Since this isn’t the type of genre I usually read I never would have been introduced to the author Brian James Freeman unless I would have been given this book for free.
