The Mansion of Mirrors – Cover Reveal and Preorder

I’m so excited to finally share that The Mansion of Mirrors will be released on July 15th, 2025!

As you may know, up until now it’s only been available in Danish.

This story is something truly special. It’s actually the first book Per ever wrote, and we’ve always wanted to bring it to his international readers. Now it’s finally happening.

Mansion of Mirrors is more character-driven and layered than some of Per’s more recent thrillers—but it still delivers that emotional punch (and creeping dread) that his readers love. If you’ve enjoyed 25 Days, Strung, or DRY, I’m confident you’ll enjoy Mansion too.

You can pre-order the ebook here and have it automatically delivered on launch day: https://geni.us/mansion
It will be big-ass book of around 500 pages . I just created the preorder for the signed hardback version on the website as well: https://authorperjacobsen.com/mansion-of-mirrors/

So if you know you’re getting a signed book, you can order it already now. It will also help me to know how many author copies I should order when that time comes.

I’m guessing that I’ll receive those so that I can send out the book (+ a bit of special Mansion swag) in July or August. I’m sorry I can’t say it more precisely at this time .

How does The Mansion of Mirrors compare emotionally or thematically to 25 Days or Strung?

Per got asked this question the other day and it’s such a great question that I wanted the post it here along with his reply:
—-
That’s a very interesting question, and it’s actually something I’ve thought a lot about over the past couple of months while translating it. Because yes, there is a difference between Mansion and my other books.

The Mansion of Mirrors was not only my first published novel—it was actually the first story I ever wrote. It was a sort of “learning by doing” process, where I had to figure out the different elements of the craft as I went along, so an observant reader will probably notice a development in the writing style throughout the book. I know I saw a clear difference between the first and second halves myself.

Another difference is the genre. As my readers will know, I like to move between genres, and The Mansion of Mirrors has a fantasy element that none of the others have.

In terms of emotional and thematic content, I’d say it fits in quite well with my other books. It deals with a fairly heavy topic—grief and the taboo of death—while on the surface telling a fantasy story about two people who involuntarily end up on a journey together. And yup, my usual M.O. also applies here, so there’s no guarantee of survival—or a happy ending—for anyone.
