Shadow Behind the Mirror
by E. Veylan

What if the truth you were running from was hiding inside your own reflection?

Berlin. Rain falls endlessly, as though the city itself is trying to wash away secrets of the past.
Lira, a young designer lost in the noise of constant notifications, stumbles upon a stranger's phone. Harmless at first—until the device unlocks without a password, revealing photographs and messages from someone who should not exist. Someone who knows her better than she knows herself. Someone who remembers Anna—her sister who vanished without a trace years ago.

When the messages begin to echo her most private memories—childhood games, whispered confessions in Vienna, a red dress, a blue scarf—Lira is drawn into a terrifying digital labyrinth. Instagram accounts appear from nowhere, shadows multiply in photographs, and mirrors no longer reflect the world she trusts. Each step pulls her deeper into a nightmare where echo is alive—repeating, distorting, and infecting reality itself.

As the borders between truth and illusion collapse, Lira discovers she is being pursued by something that calls itself Veil. Part entity, part reflection, Veil twists technology into a haunting chorus of whispers, screenshots, and blood‑stained memories. And it will not stop until she makes an impossible choice: confront the hidden truth about Anna, or surrender her identity to the echo forever.

Blending psychological horror, supernatural suspense, and techno‑paranormal mystery, Shadow Behind the Mirror is a chilling exploration of memory, identity, and the fragile line between digital lives and inner demons. Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, Alex Michaelides, Paul Tremblay, or Mariana Enríquez, this novel invites you to question: when you look in the mirror, who is really looking back?

Prepare to enter the echo. Once you hear its voice, it will never leave.
