Lilith

Mr. Vane’s library is haunted by its former libarian. Few believed the old tale, and none could have guessed the Dantesque journey on which the Vergilian phantom would lead his patron's great-grandson.
Mr. Vane passes through a mirrored door to find a world in which pure innocence and pure corruption. Yet, Mr. Vane proves himself truly vain. Although his raven guide reveals to him how to save the things he loves most, Mr. Vane ignores his advice and settles upon his own method. In th end, he learns the lesson which the raven had been trying to teach him all along: that only by dying may one truly live.
