Curse of the Hidden Mirror is the fourteenth studio album by Blue Öyster Cult. It was released on June 5, 2001 by Sanctuary Records. After the album's poor reception, Blue Öyster Cult would not record another studio album for nearly 20 years. Science fiction author John Shirley returned for this album, writing lyrics for eight of its eleven songs. It is the final studio album to feature founding member Allen Lanier, who died in 2013.
This album spawned one single, "Pocket", which was also poorly received.
