Showing results for "A Reflection" in Ghosts

Georgina Castle is a successful San Francisco antiques dealer with more than a passing acquaintance with the supernatural. One day, while hosting an estate sale for a friend, she purchases a matching pair of early 18th-century French mirrors for her collection. She knows that the owner of the mirrors disappeared without a trace many years ago, but she is curious about their earlier origins. But just as she begins to research further, she realizes that something is not right with one of the mirrors. Not only does the image of a woman appear within the glass, it also begs for help.

I am a shadow. I live in the dark recesses of the darkest places in the tunnels of Grand Central Station, but I do not stay put there; I am free to pass into the light. I wander among the vast marble passages. Sometimes, I make myself as noticeable as possible. I have prevented muggings by casting an ominous shadow in front of the intended victims to warn them. I like to think of myself as an angel; a shadow angel.

In the darkest corner of a Russian antique shop stands an empty mirror frame. For half a century it has made the proprietor feel uneasy: but now he has found a way to send it half way across the world, out of sight and mind. When it reaches its new destination, it sets in motion a deeply unsettling chain of events. A cracking roller-coaster of a ghost story, linking all the flamboyance of 19th century Petersburg with a sleepy English village in the 21st century.
