What can you see by looking into a mirror? Your own face. And what else? But they say for a reason that the mirror is a “gift from the devil,” and it holds a secret meaning of our desires. Lena Korobkova owned an antique silver mirror of astonishing beauty. It seemed to call to her, to lure her: “Look into me!” But when she did, one day, Lena saw that deep inside the mirror primordial darkness churned—through it a face appeared, someone’s face—terrible and shapeless. It drank in everything, consumed it, devoured with its deadly gaze… Afraid, Lena hid the mirror in a safe place, but soon she disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Her search was connected with her former colleague, a housewife from St. Petersburg, Nadezhda Lebedeva.
