# **LOOKING GLASS**
**By Darren Reaume**
**The first rule is simple. We do not look away.**
For fourteen years, Dr. Elena Voss devoted her life to **Looking Glass**, a secret government program created to contain impossible phenomena hidden behind reflections. After witnessing horrors no one was ever meant to see, she walked away, removing every mirror from her home and burying the past forever.
Then a letter arrives.
**The door is warm again.**
Called back to the isolated Looking Glass facility, Elena meets **Patient 313**—a man who claims to be the first person to step through a mysterious doorway hidden within an ordinary carnival mirror... and return. As unexplained reflections begin appearing across the country, old files are reopened, forgotten experiments resurface, and an ancient entity learns to wear human faces.
What the government believed it had imprisoned was never truly contained.
It was only waiting.
As the boundary between worlds begins to collapse, Elena discovers the terrifying truth: every reflection is a doorway, every mirror remembers, and someone must always stand on the other side to keep the darkness from crossing over.
Blending supernatural horror, psychological suspense, government conspiracy, and cosmic mystery, **LOOKING GLASS** is a chilling novel about sacrifice, obsession, and the terrifying price of holding a door that should never have been opened.
**Because sometimes the most frightening thing staring back at you... is waiting for you to blink.**

Book 2
After a stay in the hospital, Michael is struggling with a world that no longer feels stable. Time skips, reality glitches, and his only anchors are his music—and his wife. But when his songs start reaching others who sense the same cracks, Michael must confront the unsettling truth: he might not be the only one seeing behind the curtain. This is a journey of self-discovery, balance, and the thin line between control and chaos. Dive into Book 2 of Michael’s story, where reality bends—and the only way forward is through the music he creates.
Right Generation, Wrong Time is a deeply personal reflection on family, legacy, grief, and the weight of time. Darren Reaume shares what it meant to witness multiple generations of his family line, and how that rare gift shaped the way he sees memory, identity, and change. Honest and heartfelt, this book is about what we inherit, what we lose, and what we choose to leave behind.

To humans, it was just a bird feeder.
To Red, it was the place where the whole world came to tell the truth.
