Don’t look to closely into the mirror.
It might look back…

The village of Harrowmere is plagued by strangeness: foggy boglands, eerie wraithlights and the legend of Grasping Jack. So how could local boy Dunn Caulkner have known that the darkest threat of all would come from a mirror?

Nobody questions the travelling salesman touting looking glasses. Nor do Dunn and his friends see any harm in a ritual said to reveal your true self. After all, what could be dangerous about a reflection?

The answer is: everything.

‘I can’t imagine a better mid-grade chiller than Lykewise. The writing is elegant and beautifully judged, the atmosphere gloriously creepy. It’s also thoughtful and clever, stimulating the mind as well as the hair follicles on the back of your neck.’
Anthony McGowan

‘This is everything I could ask for from a middle-grade horror… Sophisticated, spooky, and smart.’
Jack Mackay

‘This eerie work of genius proves why Darren Simpson is the king of middle-grade horror!’
Elle McNicoll
