Jessica (jlt1003) | 2 comments I remember it had something to do with a mirror in the back of a store that made an evil mirror image of whatever was shown in it - the main character was attacked by a scarab beetle pin she bought from the store and it scratched her cheek. Any ideas who wrote it or where I can find a copy??

Jessica (jlt1003) | 2 comments I think it was early to mid 90s

Excerpt on https://querytracker.net/forum/index....
"Looking in one of the mirrors, the scarab almost looked like a pet hanging onto my shirt. After all of my encounters with dragonflies, I wasn’t as creeped out by having an insect on my shirt as I normally would have been. When I saw it crawl over my heart I should have screamed. Instead, I was mesmerized as it moved and barely felt the sting as it bit into my skin. My last thought as I fainted was hoping that I didn’t crush the bug when I hit the floor."

Have you tried searching Worldcat with title "Shattered"?
