Summary "The Diary of Philip Westerly" by Paul Compton is a psychological horror novella written in the early 20th century. The book delves into themes of vanity, madness, and the duality of human nature, unfolding through the disturbing experiences of its protagonist, Philip Westerly, as he becomes increasingly obsessed with his own reflection. In this unsettling tale, Philip Westerly's life takes a nightmarish turn after he becomes aware of a sinister reflection in a large mirror. As the days progress, he witnesses the reflection take on a life of its own, mocking him and ultimately resembling him more than he recognizes himself. Parallel to his increasing fear and paranoia, Westerly isolates himself, struggling with the horrifying notion that he is losing his identity to the malevolent entity trapped within the mirror. The story culminates in a desperate confrontation with his own reflection as he grapples with the consequences of his vanity and cruelty, leaving readers to ponder the nature of self and the dark corridors of the mind.
