DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT MIRROR
A Novel by JT Marrow
Moving to a new house is never easy. For fourteen-year-old Mia Hayes, it's unbearable.Shy, overlooked, and drowning in silence, Mia has always wished she could be someone else - anyone else. When her family settles into a crumbling Victorian on Elmwood Lane, she discovers something waiting in the basement: an enormous antique mirror, hidden under a dusty sheet.At first, it's just a mirror.
Then it shows her something more.In its reflection, Mia sees a version of herself she's always dreamed of - confident, fearless, perfect. The girl in the glass speaks with her voice, knows her deepest secrets, and offers her the one thing Mia wants most: a chance to finally be heard.But every yes has a price. Every favor pulls Mia deeper into the mirror's cold embrace. And as the line between her world and the one inside the glass begins to blur, Mia realizes the terrifying truth: The reflection doesn't want to help her.
It wants to replace her.Atmospheric, deeply psychological, and hauntingly beautiful, Don't Look in the Basement Mirror is a chilling young adult horror novel about identity, self-worth, and the dangerous fantasy of becoming someone else. Perfect for fans of Coraline, The Hazel Wood, and Mexican Gothic.
Some doors should never be opened.
Some reflections should never be trusted.
