The Mirror and Other Strange Reflections

Porges published hundreds of stories, making his name in the fields of fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and the supernatural, but apart from a collection of Sherlockian parodies, his work has not been gathered together in book form. This volume collects 28 of his weird and supernatural tales, ranging from the whimsical to the horrifying. Readers will meet such characters as the Great (though small) God Eep, who can grant any wish so long as the value does not exceed $1.98; Bryce Donaldson, prepared to do anything – or sacrifice anyone – to get what he wants; and the mysterious grom, invisible to humans, yet possessed of a sense of mischief which can lead to deadly results.
