"No one survived the party at the penthouse. Except Athan. Athanasios 'Athan' Bakirtzis has made it far in life relying on his charm and good looks, even securing an invitation to a mysterious penthouse soiree for New York City's artsy elite. But when he sneaks off to the bathroom, he hears a slam, followed by a scream. Athan peers outside, only to be pushed back in by a boy his age. The boy gravely tells him not to open the door, then closes Athan in. Outside the door, the party descends into chaos. Through hours of howls, laughter, and sobs, Athan stays hidden. When he finally emerges, he discovers a massacre where the corpses appear to have arranged themselves into a disturbingly elegant sculpture. Athan's mysterious savior is nowhere to be found. Athan - the only known survivor - is now the primary suspect. Something evil is waking up in the walls of New York City, and it's compelling victims towards violence and self-destruction. Athan has felt this evil hiding behind his reflection his entire life. Once upon a time it only watched him, waiting. It's not waiting anymore. Now it's taking over"--Dust jacket flap.
