Description
A cursed painting. A missing museum visitor. A demon that feeds on suffering.
When a visitor disappears during a private exhibition at the Yellow Wall Museum in Darlington, the Hunters are called in to investigate. Security cameras glitch, the newest painting seems to change, and a centuries-old supernatural evil begins to stir.
Created by artist Jacob Chablam, The Art of Torture was inspired by Aldorath, a demon once bound to the painting through a desperate exorcism. Now the artwork has resurfaced, the demon is awake, and every victim makes it stronger.
Can the Hunters uncover the painting’s dark history, rescue those trapped inside, and banish Aldorath before it escapes?
