Abstract
Deadly Reflection is a fictional horror novel in which a group of young adults are stalked by a mysterious and sinister entity known as the Old Man, who only appears to them in mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The novel not only focuses on the elements of terror, but also showcases the lives and relationships of the characters the Old Man is menacing. This work aims to break genre conventions by presenting a racially diverse group of characters from differing backgrounds while also showing an understanding of the genre and its necessary conventions. As a work of creative fiction, Deadly Reflection features fully realized characters, a structured plot, and use of carefully crafted prose and descriptions to tell the novel’s story.
