"From the realm of Mount Helikon, the nine muses sing their songs to mankind's imagination. One, however, is condemned to the darkest corner of that realm... she is Melpomene, daughter of Zeus and mother of the Sirens. She is the muse of tragedy, of pain... of fear. She sings her dark song, drawing forth our worst aberrations. She is the shaper of nightmares. She is the bridge between the soul and darkness. Tragedy brings her... darkness sustains her... lost souls are merely Blood for the Muse."
Melpomene the dark muse is the creation of awarding winning writer Terry West. I created this illustration for the back cover of his comic book, Blood for the Muse.
