Dave Anderson lives in a world with iPads, cars, three monstrous gods who kill thousands of random individuals on a whim, and law enforcement willing to round up trouble makers and innocents alike to offer as human sacrifices to “control” the gods. He also has a daughter attending the local university who has gone missing in an attempt to find a mirror with the power to bring peace and happiness to their depressing and dangerous world. With the support and company of his daughter’s boyfriend, Dave sets off to find her in a landscape that is both terrifying and astonishing.
Mirror of the Nameless is a riveting novella. Other reviewers have made comparisons to Lovecraft’s work, but I have only read one of his stories so I cannot comment on the accuracy of these perceptions. I can report that this storyline was very fresh and unique. The monsters (gods) are hideous and the blood and guts action comes fast and furious. The pace was relentless and I cared deeply for Dave and Tom (his young companion). Much of the plot was unpredictable to the very end. I loved the book, and I think this is one of DarkFuse’s strongest products to date (two great horror works in a row from these folks – my previous read was Nightmare Man).He dreams of
