Out of the Mirror, Darkness

Unfortunately, cosmic horror through film props has been done by other authors much better. The story is not terrible, but it is somewhat forgettable. Essentially a mirror used as a film prop unleashes some horror on the film set and crew. The main issue I have is a somewhat Mary-Sue type character who flies in and saves the day. Add to that a strangely chipper prose, it all felt oddly unbalanced, not sure what type of story it really wanted to be

Liked this one. It wasn't out of this world but it also wasn't mundane or boring. And the writing style was normal

While not anything revolutionary, this short story was intriguing enough and a good introduction to what could easy be an entertaining full novel or series.
