SOLVED. Horror story. Man sees things start moving around in a painting and it drives him mad. [s]

[Imani]

All i remember is a man stares at a painting so long that he starts to see little creatures moving around in it and it drives him insane. Read early 2000s, late 90s. Please help, thank you.

1408?
Man specifically asks for haunted room. Room & Painting starts to change/move - temporarily drives him crazy...

[Imani]

Do you know which book you read it in, Imani?

[Imani]

I think it was in the book of short stories, I was really into Stephen King at the time.

[Clarissa]

Imani was it 1408 in Stephen Kings short story collection Everythings Eventual?

Ok :) Wasn’t clear since when asked OP said
“I think it was in the book of short stories, I was really into Stephen King at the time.”
