MY STORY 'ENLIVENED' DEPICTED BY ARTIST GERARD TORBITT.

From time to time an artist reads one of my books and is inspired enough to interpret something that has affected them in that story. It’s one of the absolute highlights of writing horror: having my own mad creations adapted by another imagination.

The painter Gerard Torbitt from Belfast, recently painted his vision of the infernal creature in my story ‘Enlivened’ from Wyrd and Other Derelictions and is happy for me to share it here. I’ve been admiring and following his expressionist style on Instagram for a while now (gerard_torbitt). You can find his website here.
