The Silversmith

Turn off the lights.
Check the mirror.
Make sure you’re alone.

When the Myth-Chasers—an infamous paranormal YouTube crew—book the Grand Hotel Gideon for their season finale, they expect cheap scares and high views. They don’t expect Gideon Slade, the long-dead silversmith whose death birthed a monster in the world behind the glass.

Slade isn’t a spirit.
He doesn’t whisper in hallways or drift through walls.
He kills.

And he leaves the bodies behind.

When one of the crew is found dead beside a plate-glass window shattered from the inside, the remaining survivors realize the Silversmith’s legend was never a story—it was a warning. The Silver-Spinner he forged from mercury, hatred, and obsession has begun to whir again, cutting through anything vain enough to stand before a mirror.

But the Myth-Chasers have a deeper problem than the hotel’s reflections.

Twenty years ago, they lied about the first time they saw Slade.
A boy died because of it.
And Gideon remembers.

Now, trapped inside a palace of polished chrome and endless mirrors, the survivors must face the truth they buried as children—
or watch the Silversmith carve his way through every flaw they’ve tried to hide.

A nightmare for fans of Stephen King, Paul Tremblay, and Josh Malerman,
The Silversmith is a brutal, unforgettable descent into the world behind the glass—
where reflections aren’t harmless,
and the monster doesn’t disappear when you close your eyes.
