The Other Half: The Pictures of Fear Collection

Cynthia hasn’t been in a relationship for ten years – not since her long-term boyfriend left her for a younger woman. After a decade of miserable dating experiences, she’s all but given up on finding her Prince Charming and living happily ever after.

However, her life changes dramatically when she meets the handsome, dashing Sebastian on a trip to an old museum. He’s everything she’s always wanted – so perfect, in fact, that she’s happy to ignore the odd coincidence of him appearing right after she viewed a painting that looked eerily like him.

But when the portrait's lost partner painting turns up, Cynthia is faced with a terrible choice. How much is she willing to risk for her fairy-tale ending?

The Other Half is the second sinister short story in the Pictures of Fear collection, written by award-winning author Victoria Williamson and available to purchase as an anthology.
