Sinopse

Scientific theories are never "true or "false"; they are "good" or "bad" in various degrees, and the criterion is one of usefulness—predictability and manipulation to (seeming) advantage. Theories are often discarded, simply because evidence may be insufficient for one, where it seems to sustain another—or where another can account for observed phenomena more simply.

The Woman in the Mirror - Every...

Raven Cole

What if the ghost haunting your house is your own forgotten past?
Thirty-two-year-old Elise Morrow just wanted a quiet place to heal from a painful divorce. The sprawling Sullivan house in Harrow Falls was a steal—mostly because the town still whispers about the teenage girl, Norah, who vanished from its second-floor bedroom fourteen years ago.
But Elise quickly learns the house isn't as empty as it seems. An antique mirror hidden in the attic reflects a face that isn't hers—a dark-haired, green-eyed girl who seems to be pleading for help. When Elise’s own reflection begins to inexplicably shift and change, she is plunged into a terrifying investigation to uncover what really happened to Norah Sullivan.
The truth she unearths is far more horrifying than a simple ghost story. Elise doesn't just share a house with the missing girl—she shares a past. Stripped of her memories by a twisted, decades-old psychological experiment, Elise must race to reclaim her true identity before the monsters who erased her come back to silence her forever.
The Woman in the Mirror is a gripping, atmospheric psychological thriller about trauma, survival, and the dark corners of the human mind. With a deeply immersive audio performance that brings the eerie silence and chilling secrets of Harrow Falls to life, this suspenseful mystery will keep you listening late into the night.
Get ready to be pulled into a world where nothing is as it seems, and the most dangerous stranger is the one looking back at you in the mirror.

Frictional Characters

Elizabeth Spann Craig

Small towns + gossip = friction 
 
 
 
No one in the town of Whitby, North Carolina was excited when Jonas Merchant returned to town. Jonas was an effective muckraker; an expert at uncovering secrets, rumors, and undercurrents. Even worse, he'd fallen on hard times and was desperate for easy cash. It was a decidedly dangerous combination. 
 
 
 
It was perhaps not the biggest surprise when Jonas was discovered dead one day. More shocking, at least to local librarian Ann Beckett, was the fact that her straight-arrow director Wilson was one of the suspects in Jonas's death. 
 
 
 
Will Ann be able to track down the killer and clear Wilson's name before he strikes again?
