What Waits in the Glass

By: Ellis Grayson

After his uncle disappears, Harry returns to his family’s cottage in the Scottish Highlands — a place his mother swore they’d never go back to. Inside its damp stone walls, the silence feels too heavy, and the mirrors don’t behave the way they should.

Some reflections linger. Others whisper. And one of them smiles when he doesn’t.

As Harry uncovers his uncle’s journals and the old legends of Loch Glen, he realises the stories were true: the mirrors aren’t just watching. They’re waiting. And what waits in the glass wants more than just a reflection.

A chilling folk-horror novel about family secrets, fractured identities, and the danger of looking too long into the dark.

And needless to say, when a boisterous bunch like these kids are based in an historic aviation city such as Wichita, Kansas, well, of course, you’d just expect them to naturally soar even higher on the pitch, right?Well, maybe not, if you asked their coach going way back to their little shaver days of Under 8 rec league before ultimately reaching the pinnacle of the Dallas Cup well into their middle school years at the Under 14 elite select level.
