Your life is a masterpiece of quiet desperation. Then, an invitation arrives. It promises everything you have lost. But the price of admission is yourself.

They are the forgotten, the paralyzed, the ghosts of their own lives: a disgraced socialite, a cynical journalist, a master forger. They are sought out by a shadowy connoisseur known only as The Curator, who offers each of them a terrifying, bespoke exhibition. A chance to reclaim their status, to find their inspiration, to know the ultimate truth. All they must do is agree to play the game.

The Curator's Collection: Volume One contains six tales of psychological submission and sensual dread. Within these pages, a secret masquerade becomes a test of identity, a wine tasting becomes a confession of the soul, and a journalist's greatest scoop reveals he is the one being dissected. Each story is a journey into a hidden world of power and control, where the only art that matters is the breaking and remaking of a human being.
