Whitehead and H. P. Lovecraft is a short story written in the early 20th century. This eerie tale revolves around a mysterious antique mirror that serves as a portal to another dimension, turning what initially appears to be an ordinary object into the foundation for horror and intrigue. The story deals with themes of otherworldly experiences and the consequences of curiosity, as well as the influence of dark forces that dwell within seemingly mundane objects. The narrative follows the protagonist, Canevin, who stumbles upon an antique mirror in an abandoned estate and later brings it to a school where he tutors. Soon after his arrival, one of his students, Robert Grandison, disappears under strange circumstances. As Canevin investigates the mirror and its peculiar effects, he discovers that Robert has become trapped in a trans-dimensional prison inside the mirror, where time and physical attributes are distorted. Through telepathic communication, Robert reveals the existence of other trapped souls and the malevolent force of Axel Holm, the mirror's creator, who had sought immortality through dark magic. Ultimately, Canevin devises a risky plan to free Robert and destroy the malevolent mirror, leading to a dramatic escape and the revelation of lingering side effects from their surreal ordeal.
