Hollow

This is an epic odyssey following a group of mercenaries hired to deliver a church's ultimate power - a sacred oracle - as the decadence of carnival gives way to the gravity of lent and the mystic landscape grows ravenous - all set within a Bosch painting. The history of art contains no more imaginative or mysterious paintings that the landscapes of Hieronymus Bosch. Art historians ask where the weird creatures depicted there came from, and so too do the central characters of Hollow as they fight their way across these landscapes and encounter these creatures. Author Brian Catling engages fully with Bosch's vision and climb imaginatively into it.
