An award-winning double exposure oil painting inspired by Richard Laymon’s The Stake, where horror, obsession, and ancient evil converge. The central figure is a writer or vampire hunter, crouched over a half-dug grave in a desolate, moonlit clearing. His eyes are locked on a weathered wooden stake in his hand—part weapon, part relic. Within his silhouette, the double exposure reveals a rotting coffin buried in the earth, its lid cracked, revealing a corpse twisted in death or undeath—fangs bared, eyes open. Around it swirl memories and hallucinations: bloodstained pages, flashes of a seductive vampire woman, and glimpses of past violence beneath the soil. Branches and roots weave through the imagery like veins, binding life, death, and lore together. The palette is rich with deep browns, crimson reds, and haunted moonlight grays, with earthy textures and streaks of decay. Oil brushstrokes crawl across the canvas like creeping ivy, alternating between smooth illusions and gnarled, dry textures of old wood and disturbed earth. Themes of repressed horror, myth colliding with reality, and the cost of curiosity permeate the painting. The double exposure captures both a literal and metaphorical unearthing—where digging for the truth awakens something better left buried.
