Bestselling author Shawn Sarles' most terrifying YA horror yet . .
. It starts innocently enough. Four kids - three girls, one boy -
are at one of their houses, playing games. One of them has read
about "Bloody Mary" and the idea that if you look into a mirror and
say her name thirteen times, she will show you the future. Some
legends say she'll show you your one true love or a skull to mark
your death within five years. Others say that conjuring Bloody Mary
will bring her into your world. Both sets of legends are true. The
kids go through with the act, saying her name thirteen times. One
girl looks in the mirror and sees her longtime crush. One girl
looks in the mirror and sees the boy in the group. But she pretends
to see something else. One girl looks in the mirror and sees a girl
she's never seen before but can't get out of her mind. And the boy
. . . he sees a skull. But he pretends to see something else. They
try to laugh it off. And mostly they forget about it. Or at least
they don't talk about it. Yet over the next few years, whenever
they look into a mirror, it's like there's always another figure
standing in the background, getting closer. Just short of five
years later, the four of them are no longer friends, having gone on
separate paths. The girl whose house it was has always tried to
avoid the mirror they used - because she always sensed someone in
the background. One morning as she's passing by, she sees much more
than her own reflection - it's a scary figure taunting her. She
startles and breaks the mirror. When the pieces are put back
together (barely), the figure is gone. That day in school, a new
girl arrives. Her name is Mary . . . .
