The Midnight Mirrors
Justin HerzogAugustus Lyre is a pen maker. A skilled crafter of writing instruments. Or at least he used to be. Since his wife’s death, he hasn’t had the heart for work. Paralyzed by grief, he wanders aimlessly through the streets of Chicago, unable to comprehend that he is now living in a world void of her warmth. Then comes the day he wakes up to find no one else remembers her. Her pictures are gone, her friends stare at him blankly, and he can’t quite remember how he got home from the cemetery. To make matters worse, the police are searching for him, and something is hunting him. Something not of this world And it remembers. What is real? What is madness? The only person who believes him is a one-armed waitress with a talent for trouble. With her help, Augustus dives into the mystery of his wife’s disappearance and discovers that the truth may be much closer to home than he thinks.
