Synopsis
A classic ghost story, by the author of The Woman in Black.
One dark and rainy night, Sir James Monmouth returns to London after years spent travelling alone.
Intent on uncovering the secrets of his childhood hero, the mysterious Conrad Vane, he begins to investigate Vane's life, but he finds himself warned off at every turn.
Before long he realises he is being followed too. A pale, thin boy is haunting his every step but every time he tries to confront the boy he disappears. And what of the chilling scream and desperate sobbing only he can hear?
His quest leads him eventually to the old lady of Kittiscar Hall, where he discovers something far more terrible at work than he could ever have imagined.

From AudioFile
The Mist in the Mirror is a ghost story reminiscent in plot and style to nineteenth-century English fiction. All atmosphere and mood, it invites reading aloud, and Charles Kay does handsomely by it. His reading has a hushed, intimate quality which allows him to almost whisper his tale in the listener's ear. Although he reads most of the time in the character of the first-person narrator, he gives the brief speeches of other characters good definition and variety. This is a tale of delicious dread, written and read in the spirit of entertainment. J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
