Beautifully written and plotted with a watchmaker's precision.</b><b>"</b> -- <b>Stephen King</b> <p/><b>"A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination" </b>--<b>Ruth Ware, author of <i>One by One</i> and <i>The Woman in Cabin 10</i></b> <p/><b>With the startling twists of </b><b><i>Gone Girl </i>and the haunting emotional power of <i>Room, Mirrorland</i> is a thrilling work of psychological suspense about twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can't leave behind.</b> <p/>Cat lives in Los Angeles, far away from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As girls, they invented <i>Mirrorland</i>, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband Ross. <p/>But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone--El?--has left Cat clues in almost every room: a treasure hunt that leads right back to Mirrorland, where she knows the truth lies crouched and waiting... <p/>A twisty, dark, and brilliantly crafted thriller about love and betrayal, redemption and revenge, <i>Mirrorland</i> is a propulsive, page-turning debut about the power of imagination and the price of freedom. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "I loved <i>Mirrorland</i>. It's dark and devious, a neo-gothic featuring twin sisters and a deeply frightening old dark house. Beautifully written and plotted with a watchmaker's precision." <b>--Stephen King</b> <p/>"In this unsettling, labyrinthine tale, it is hard at first to tell who the villain is--or even how many villains there are in a family with a great deal to hide. The book unlocks its mysteries slowly, twisting the knife a little deeper with each revelation." <b>--</b><b>Sarah Lyall, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/>"Fans of twist-filled thrillers, look no further than Johnstone's tale of estranged twins who invented their own dark and imaginary world." <b>--<i>E! News</i></b> <p/> "Johnstone has plenty of tricks up her sleeve in this suspenseful tale of betrayal and revenge, memory and imagination, and the thin line between love and hate."<b> --<i>Business Insider</i></b> <p/>"Enthralling . . . a dark, twisting thriller that explores the pitch-black corners of people's minds; how good and bad, love and hate, terror and joy can co-exist; and how childhood memories can be rewritten with time as the lines between imagination and reality are blurred. Fans of Gillian Flynn's creeping dread and Liane Moriarty's nuanced morality and complex relationships should love this book." <i><b>--Kirkus Reviews</b></i> <p/> "This ambitious blend of psychological suspense and horror casts a powerful light on the liberating power of imagination." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/>"Carole Johnstone's debut feels like the love child of Gillian Flynn and Stephen King. In <i>Mirrorland</i>, nothing is as it appears and the kaleidoscope twists and turns will have you frantically turning the pages until you reach the gasp-out-loud ending." --<b>Greer Hendricks, #1 New York Times best-selling co-author of <i>The Wife Between Us</i></b> <p/> "A dark, twisty and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination" --<b>Ruth Ware, author of <i>One by One</i> and <i>The Woman in Cabin 10</i></b> <p/>"A dark and twisty thriller told with thumping heart and extraordinary tenderness--<i>Mirrorland</i> is as much a celebration of imagination and its escapism as an examination of trauma and its echoes." <b>--Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of <i>The Mercies</i></b> <p/> "A sinister study in estranged sisterhood and the shapeshifting powers of repression and denial. Thick with propulsive twists and immensely readable."<b> --Sue Rainsford, author of <i>Follow Me to Ground</i></b> <p/> "<i>Mirrorland</i> is pitched as <i>Gone Girl</i> meets <i>Room</i>, and we can hardly wait!"--<b><i>Buzzfeed</i>, Mystery/Thrillers We're Highly Anticipating in 2021</b> <p/> "Thrilling, dark, and propulsive, <i>Mirrorland</i> is an unsettling shape-shifter of a novel. This is a story about a mysterious death and a long-buried secret, but it's also a fascinating, terrifying portrait of how we seek refuge in our imaginations--and how easily imagination can be confused with reality." <b>--Anna Pitoniak, author of <i>Necessary People</i></b> <p/> "An intricate, brilliant puzzle of a novel where past and present, fantasy and reality, are all clues that one twin must decipher to uncover the fate of her missing sister and the secrets of their shared past. It's <i>Gone Girl </i>meets <i>Rebecca</i> . . . atmospheric, tightly plotted and utterly gripping, a must read for fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn." <b>--Sarah Pinborough, author of <i>Dead to Her </i>and <i>Behind Her Eyes</i></b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Carole Johnstone's award-winning short fiction has appeared in annual "Best of" anthologies in the US and UK. She lives in Argyll & Bute, Scotland, with her husband. <i>Mirrorland</i> is her debut novel.
