It is said that a mirror can trap a person's soul... Martin Williams is a broke, two-bit screenwriter living in Hollywood, but when he finds the very mirror that once hung in the house of a murdered 1930s child star, he happily spends all he has on it. He has long obsessed over the tragic story of Boofuls, a beautiful and successful actor who was slaughtered and dismembered by his grandmother. However, he soon discovers that this dream buy is in fact a living nightmare; the mirror was not only in Boofuls house, but witness to the death of this blond-haired and angelic child, which in turn has created a horrific and devastating portal to a hellish parallel universe. So when Martin's landlord loses his grandson it is soon apparent that the mirror is responsible. But if a little boy has gone into the mirror, what on earth is going to come out?

Ugh, that was not my type of book. It was really well written, but kinda ridiculous. The story was gruesome without much meaning to it, the Satan thing fun, although a bit shallow. I liked the other side of the mirror and relations to Alice in wonderland, although I think that aspect could have been much deeper and better played out. In general, the book felt somehow as a dark comedy story about a Hollywood screenwriter who finds a Satanists cult mixed with scenes of senseless and a bit pointless graphic violence. For connoisseurs.
