Within the decaying grandeur of a secluded French estate, a chilling masterpiece awaits. The House of Living Paintings whispers tales of the enigmatic Moreau family, their obsession with capturing the very essence of the human soul, and the dark secrets buried within their art.Jules Moreau, a young artist haunted by self-doubt, arrives seeking solace and inspiration. He finds it in a hidden studio, where portraits shimmer with an unsettling life of their own.

Each brushstroke pulls him deeper, echoing his ancestors’ dangerous pursuit of artistic immortality.Local historian Michelle Gibbs, drawn to the estate’s tragic history, becomes Jules’s confidante and unwitting accomplice. As his fascination morphs into a perilous obsession, Michelle uncovers a disturbing pattern of disappearances within the Moreau family.  She races against time, her knowledge of the past the only key to saving Jules from a terrifying future.Under the impending shadow of a lunar eclipse, the house awakens.  The living paintings, fueled by forgotten rituals, pulse with a terrifying power.  Jules, caught in a fevered artistic frenzy, unveils his own self-portrait, believing he has finally mastered the Moreaus’ forbidden technique. But at what cost?The House of Living Paintings is a haunting exploration of art, obsession, and the human soul.  It's a descent into the heart of creative madness, where the price of immortality may be higher than anyone could imagine.

    The spirits aren't talking, but they are making Imogene's life a misery. When the police suspect the mortuary's head embalmer of stealing the corpse to sell on the black market, she and El realize it's up to them to find the missing body. 
     
     
     
    Their search leads to a berserker Viking cult, obnoxious frat boys, and a pirate bar, among other dangers. But Imogene and El are determined to reunite the deceased couple, or die trying.
