H. P. Lovecraft & Henry S. Whitehead 31 min read

A strange motion stirs in an antique Copenhagen mirror when the narrator is alone, the first sign of the uncanny trap waiting within the two-hundred-year-old glass.

Henry S. Whitehead and H. P. Lovecraft's 1932 story is an eerie fantasy-horror tale. Atmospheric, imaginative, well-told. Read it for an intriguing Lovecraft collaboration, a haunted antique mirror that is a doorway to a glass-bound otherworld, blending weird horror with a fascinating strange-dimension conceit, in a well-crafted tale of the uncanny.
