In Nicole Cushing's first full-length collection, The Mirrors, one finds the reflections of a nightmare world brimming with horror, despair, and brazen absurdity. Within these pages are tales of identities lost and found...relationships lost and found...sanity lost and found. "Nicole Cushing's stories grab you by the throat—and don't let go until they have slapped you around a bit. I know of few writers of contemporary weird fiction whose stories pack the raw emotional power that hers do..." — S.T. Joshi (from his foreword) "Nicole Cushing comes in smart and hard, skilled and strange times three. Many aspire. But you can't fake this kind of weird." — New York Times Bestselling Author John Skipp
