Exceptional Story for July: The Goblin Poet
She is no painting you’ve ever seen. Whorls, smears, and stains halo her as a blood-clouded angel. Endless red hair surrounds her, a phantasm of hate. In one hand, she crushes a snake to death. It goes to its squeezing willingly.
A red obsession. A fevered dream. A spate of artists, missing. The Goblin Poet’s brother – one Rugged Paintslinger – is the latest of these bohemians to disappear, each concerned with the same scarlet subject. Follow the art. Enter their dreams. Explore a chequered court, and confront the source of this bloodied inspiration.
