Horror Illustration

A scene from a contemporary horror novel set in a coastal Caribbean city. The image depicts a moment of intense psychological dread: a woman wakes in the night and feels — but has not yet turned to confront — a supernatural presence laying beside her.

Required style is painting aesthetic — rich texture, visible brushwork, classical chiaroscuro. The atmosphere feels heavy, suffocating, and tense. A faint moonlight enters from an open window. Composition is a top-down / overhead (cenital) angle, looking down onto the bed.
