Mirrors are fascinating. They reflect everything accurately the things that are in front of them, or do they? Scientists were at one time attempting to create a mirror which showed everything the way the viewer would see it, not the back-to-front reflection we are used to. Quite what that would do to our minds is anyone's guess… Mirrors can be menacing. They can reveal our innermost fears – sometimes showing us those fears in ghastly and horrific forms. Mirrors can speak, according to the fairy tale, giving the viewer what she wanted up to a point, until it no longer became the truth. Mirrors hold many secrets. This anthology reveals some of those secrets and horrors as the talented writers who have allowed me to use their work explore in tales of woe, blood, gore and murder. Here are the real nasties hiding behind the silvered backs of seemingly innocuous mirrors. Look in them at your peril.

Mirror Mirror

Gaetano and Emilio are in search of La Dolce Vita-wealth, fame, and beautiful women. They encounter the Contessa di Aubria, a mysterious woman with a dark bloodline and penchant for erotica. Will she fulfill their desires, or bring about their destruction? Masquerade & Other Stories is a collection of macabre and erotic tales. Marija Elektra Rodriguez is an award-winning writer of horror and erotica fiction. Her stories have been widely anthologized in Australia and internationally.

Masquerade

"I gaze upon her porcelain skin as she disrobes in front of the Murano mirror. She is just as I had been centuries earlier, unblemished, untouched by man..." Children of the Dark is a collection of Gothic tales. Ancient bloodlines, immortality, incest; all the classic motifs are there with new blood. -South Sydney Review There is a darkness that surrounds these stories, as though the author has a deep sadness within her soul. -Acheron

What lies beneath brought out a whole range of themes from talented writers as they interpreted it both literally and metaphorically. The stories are wildly different, every one of them worthy of their place in this anthology. If any of them make you wonder just what lies beneath… your home, your work place, your vacation resort… then it will have half done its job. If you like reading it, as you should, then it will have done its job. Enjoy! Check out more Horrified Press & Thirteen Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com
