Maps in a Mirror (1990) is a collection of short stories by American writer Orson Scott Card. [1] Like Card's novels, most of the stories have a science fiction or fantasy theme. Some of the stories, such as " Ender's Game", " Lost Boys", and " Mikal's Songbird" were later expanded into novels. Each of the smaller volumes that make up the larger collection as a whole are centered on a theme or genre. For instance, Volume 1, The Changed Man, reprints several of Card's horror stories. The collection won the Locus Award in 1991. [2]
Most of the stories appearing in the book are reprints of stories which were first published in science fiction and fantasy periodicals.
The book has been published as a single large volume, as a two volume set and as a four volume set. However, only the single volume editions contain: Book 5: Lost Songs, The Hidden Stories.

In the one-volume editions, this section is titled "The Hanged Man: Tales of Dread".
