Muse

"A vibrant story about the intersection of art and suffering, and the predators behind the scenes looking for their pound of flesh, both literally and figuratively. ... With Muse, LCW Allingham has managed to tell a story that's both beautiful and horrifying."

-William J. Donahue, author of Only Monsters Remain

"Armed with fanciful prose and well-drawn characters, Muse is a novella that uniquely explores the mysteries of creativity, the people who possess such talents, and those who would exploit them. Allingham is an author to watch." - Lucas Mangum, author of Saint Sadist and Gods of the Dark Web

"Dark, delicious, and dangerous, addressing -- nourishing -- everyone who has ever had a muse or been one. LCW Allingham goes places you don't want to go so you don't have to. This blew me away. Such a beautiful rendering of art, horror, and fantasy, it was impossible to look away." - Chris Bauer, author of Cobalt and Cradle, the Maximum Risk series

"I found Muse to be a fascinating little book, stylishly written and with a sly humor to go along with its more macabre scenes. It won't be for everyone though- it packs a significant amount of graphic body horror, drug use, and sexuality in under 100 pages. It's definitely a story for adults. But I highly recommend it for those who want to read a smart, sophisticated horror story set in an elegant, cosmopolitan world." - Nick Bruner, Author of The Last Days of Atlantis series
