Trauma
Bonnie's job – cleaning up after violent homicides – is not for the faint hearted. But for Bonnie it's a business she has built from the ground up; a service that she can be proud of. By day she sells make-up under her rather too amorous boss, a strange but necessary contrast to her gruesome night job. Working two jobs isn't easy, but with a husband like Duke, an unemployed drunk, she needs the money. Blood soaked carpets and bullet holed plaster work might have become the norm, but when she notices a connection between a spate of senseless murders in which people inexplicably kill their loved ones, her tough exterior starts to crack. The links she sees sound crazy even to her, and can only be explained by the supernatural. Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe award 2003 "One of the few true masters of the horror genre." -James Herbert "Masterton is a crowd pleaser, filling his pages with sparky, appealing dialogue and visceral grue."-Time Out,London "Masterton's novels are charming, dangerous, and frightening...but all based on enormous erudition." - L'Express

Why won't you look in the mirror at midnight? What are you afraid of? Your own face? Or the thought that you might see something more than your own face, something dark and terrible and strange... Award-winning horror writer Graham Masterton brings you a collection of fourteen stories as fourteen mirrors reflecting unimaginable secrets and unknown cruelties. Look closely, and see the tempting face of the girl who refuses to die. Look closer still, and see the greed-filled face of the man who craves the most terrible meal of all, and the ashen-grey faces of the men who returned home long after they were buried and, if you dare, the heart-stopping face of the guardian of the woods.
