Through the Glass Darkly: A Mirror Horror Anthology There are things you see in the mirror and things that see you back. In this chilling anthology, the reflection is never just your own. Through the Glass Darkly invites you into a labyrinth of horror where each tale twists reality, blurs the line between sanity and madness, and asks a single, unnerving question: what happens when the mirror refuses to let go? Step into hotel rooms where shadows whisper your secrets, antique shops where the glass remembers every face it’s ever trapped, and quiet bedrooms where a simple glance into a vanity might be the last mistake you ever make. Within these pages, mirrors become portals, prisons, and predators offering glimpses into alternate lives, darker selves, and worlds that should never be crossed. Every story is a reflection of something buried deep: grief so raw it manifests as a ghost in the glass… a jealousy so consuming it crafts a duplicate that won’t stay in its place… a hunger so ancient it reaches from the other side, begging for release. As the anthology unfolds, each piece weaves into a greater, more sinister mosaic, until the true nature of the mirror realm begins to reveal itself and with it, the terrifying truth about what really lies behind the silvered surface. This is not horror that jumps from the dark; this is horror that stands in front of you, mimicking your every move, smiling when you shouldn’t be smiling, and waiting for you to lean just a little closer. It’s psychological, creeping, intimate the kind of fear that lingers long after you’ve turned the last page, making you second-guess every reflection in every window, screen, or piece of polished metal. For lovers of Shirley Jackson’s quiet dread, Stephen King’s creeping inevitability, and the haunting folklore of urban legends, Through the Glass Darkly delivers a curated set of tales that feel both familiar and foreign, like a dream you can’t quite shake. Each author brings their own voice, style, and twist to the mirror mythos some stories will break your heart before they shatter your nerves; others will drag you down screaming into the dark. Whether it’s a Victorian governess whose charges vanish one by one into a full-length looking glass, a cursed hand mirror that distorts more than your face, or a modern influencer whose obsession with her own image opens the wrong kind of following, every narrative is an invitation to look… knowing you might not like what’s staring back. You will find no safe passage here. The reflections shift. The glass breathes. The frame is closing in. And when you finally try to turn away, you might find the reflection stays smiling that slow, knowing smile long after you’ve gone. Dare to read it at night. Dare to look up when you’re done. But whatever you do… don’t look too long.
