<p>"Pickman's Model" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in September 1926 and first published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales. It was adapted for television in a 1971 episode of the Night Gallery anthology series, starring Bradford Dillman.</p> <p>The story revolves around a Bostonian painter named Richard Upton Pickman who creates horrifying images. His works are brilliantly executed, but so graphic that they result in the revocation of his membership in the Boston Art Club and he is shunned by his fellow artists.</p> <p>The narrator is a friend of Pickman, who, after the artist's mysterious disappearance, relates to another acquaintance how he was taken on a tour of Pickman's personal gallery, hidden away in a run-down backwater slum of the city. As the two delved deeper into Pickman's mind and art, the rooms seemed to grow ever more evil and the paintings ever more horrific, ending with a final enormous painting of an unearthly, red-eyed and vaguely canine humanoid balefully chewing on a human victim.</p> <p>A noise sent Pickman running outside the room with a gun while the narrator reached out to unfold what looked like a small piece of rolled paper attached to the monstrous painting. The narrator heard some shots and Pickman walked back in with the smoking gun, telling a story of shooting some rats, and the two men departed.</p> <p>Afterwards the narrator realized that he had nervously grabbed and put the rolled paper in his pocket when the shots were fired. He unrolled the paper to reveal that it is a photograph not of the background of the painting, but of the subject. Pickman drew his inspirations not from a diseased imagination, but from monsters that were very much real.</p> <p>Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows over Innsmouth, The Alchemist, Reanimator, Ex Oblivione, Azathoth, The Call of Cthulhu, The Cats of Ulthar, The Dunwich Horror, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, The Festival, The Silver Key, The Other Gods, The Outsider, The Temple, The Picture in the House, The Shunned House, The Terrible Old Man, The Tomb, Dagon, From Beyond, What the Moon Brings.</p>

La novela imprescindible para los fans de Los Bridgerton, Outlander y The Crown. Una deslumbrante reinterpretación del romance de Sisí. Es el año 1853, e Isabel "Sisí" de Baviera, de 16 años, ha sido muy clara: esperará el amor arrollador y arrebatador del que hablan los poetas, o no tendrá ningún amor. Que su hermana mayor, Elena, haya elegido la línea del deber y se esté preparando para casarse con el emperador Francisco José de Austria, no significa que Sisí tenga que someterse también a una existencia tan desprovista de pasión y de regimiento. Mientras tanto, en Austria, el Emperador se recupera de un intento de asesinato que lo dejó herido y asustado. En un intento de mantener la paz, Francisco José se ha comprometido con sus deberes imperiales y ha prometido un romance con la flexible princesa de Baviera, Elena, en su próxima celebración de cumpleaños. ¿Qué mejor manera de unir al país? Pero cuando Sisí y Francisco José se encuentran inesperadamente en los jardines de palacio, lejos de las miradas indiscretas y las críticas implacables de sus familias, su conexión no puede negarse. Y cuando sus conversaciones ilícitas se convierten en algo más, pronto deberán elegir entre las expectativas de la corte y los ardientes deseos de sus corazones...
