Demons in the Mirror

Demons in the Mirror

{On Hiatus} Everyone had the exact replica of themselves in the mirror. It was just the shadow of yourself, a shape of a person imitating your every move. What if I tell you, the mirror was just a barrier for another world- for another copy of you? Another copy you would be terrified to see. A demon version of you. Every people in this world had a counterpart. Everyone had a demon of their own, living freely of their will in the world inside their mirror. The exact replica, yet different stories they were living. Different conflicts, different choices, and different endings. The Vergessene family always had been the strongest of both worlds. The family of the strongest criminals in the human world and the family of the strongest anarchists in the demon world. Different yet the same. Both of the worlds weren’t supposed to be aware of one another. Both worlds weren’t supposed to cross with each other. But the demon version of the Vergessene family lost their youngest one. He died at an early age, too young to leave the world; he never made it past seventeen. Until they found out their youngest one had the exact replica of himself and snatched the human version of him away. __________ Take notes that this is a slow-burn novel, so it's going to be slow :D Also, this novel is really dark. This is a found family with forced adoption. You can clearly see from the synopsis that the family is really messed up. Trigger warnings for manipulations (A LOT of them), blood, body horror, graphic fighting, unhealthy relationships, panic attacks, anxiety, PTSD, depression, dehumanization, suicide, and swearing. Anyway, enjoy your stay in this book!

The meaning of the word " fishy " referred to some shady, hidden, and secretive operations, such as black whistle. This word originated from the old Beijing dialect and spread to other places, such as Tianjin and Shanghai. It referred to the loopholes, loopholes, and illogical aspects of the matter. There were several theories about the origin of the word 'fishy.' One theory is that it was imported from Persian and pronounced as manee, meaning "hidden feelings". Another theory was that cats liked to cover their own feces and urine with debris, so they misinterpreted cat urine as "greasy", thus forming the meaning of "greasy". No matter what, fishy referred to some shady and hidden operations.

The idea of the supernatural is a major scary element. Things that go against the laws of nature, like floating figures or ghosts that can pass through walls. In 'trick or trick' stories, the characters often face these supernatural entities without much warning. The distortion of time and space can also be scary. For instance, a character might enter a house that seems normal from the outside but inside, it's like a never - ending maze of horror. And the psychological aspect, the feeling that something is just not right, is always terrifying in these stories.
