Rating: 5 out of 5

Reading from start to finish in one setting, this novella keeps a fast pace all the way through to the end. Supernatural phenomena, parallel dimensions, alien beings, mental insanity, love, and relationships - Mr. Casey covers it all in a brilliantly unexpected fashion and keeps the reader fully captivated.When Donny decides to spend a few days in the abandoned home of Manny Bates, a woman who's tipped the scales of insanity and lost, he struggles to initiate a story for his publisher's deadline until a covered painting in the kitchen intrigues him. For hours, the writing valves are wide open, and the words are flowing. With an excellent start to his latest novel, Donny tries to relax and discovers doing so may be harder than he thought. Is Donny going mad from sleep deprivation, is he dreaming the whole thing, or are there figures watching him from the painting? There is much more that could be written about 'The Painting,' but I want other readers to get the full effect of each twist of fate that befalls Donny and the others.This is a must have for a summer reading list. It hits a nerve and makes one wonder...what if. Mr. Casey, I cannot wait until the next book in the series is available! I'm hooked.
