Downloading Mystique in the Mirror
Eighteen-year-old Alan’s life is far from ordinary.
With a chronic illness stealing his memory piece by piece, he writes every moment in a notebook—because if he doesn’t, it’s gone. Living quietly with his researcher father, Alan has learned to find happiness in small things… until the day a shadowed figure appears in the mirror behind him.
What begins as a fleeting glimpse soon turns into a waking nightmare—sleepwalking, strange dreams, and a growing terror of every reflective surface. The doctors call it hallucination. Alan isn’t so sure.
When his father admits him to a psychiatric hospital under the care of the enigmatic Dr. Nin, Alan meets Win—a cheerful boy with a mysterious past. Their connection sparks something deeper than friendship, but the closer they grow, the more the walls of reality begin to crack.
In a place where trust is fragile and secrets run deep, Alan must confront the haunting figure in the mirror and uncover the truth linking his father, Dr. Nin, and Win. The answers lie buried in forgotten memories… and in the dark history of the hospital itself.
Mystique in the Mirror is a slow-burn LGBTQ psychological romance with paranormal suspense, perfect for fans of The Locked Door and Call Me by Your Name—where love, loss, and the supernatural intertwine in a haunting story you’ll never forget.
