The Girl in the Glass

Since she was nine, Elara has been haunted by a girl who wears her face—a rotting, broken version of herself that crawls from mirrors and lurks in the dark. It whispers to her in sleep-paralysis-induced nightmares, leaving real bruises and a single, chilling demand: "Follow me." After years of failed exorcisms and therapies, a fragile peace is found in the arms of her husband. But the girl has returned, no longer screaming, but smiling. She’s waiting for Elara to finally break, to get tired of fighting, and to take her cold, dead hand.
