A motel off a forgotten Nevada highway keeps one rule for every guest: no one looks into a mirror after 11 p.m. When Daniel Cross breaks that rule on his first night, he sees a room that doesn't exist anywhere in the building, and by morning he can't be sure which side of the glass he actually woke up on.



Connor Hayes CH writes stories about ordinary places that hide extraordinary dangers. Drawn to roadside motels, forgotten highways, and the quiet dread of small-town America, Hayes crafts atmospheric thrillers where the paranormal feels unsettlingly plausible. When not writing, Hayes can be found exploring abandoned buildings and collecting strange local legends that often find their way into future novels. This is the first installment in a new dark thriller series.
