The Mirror Room
Description
In the shadowed alleys of Vienna, truth is a reflection?and some mirrors are deadly.
When a string of suicides rocks the city, Detective Leyla Lang is pulled into a chilling case with one common thread: Dr. Emil Krauss, an enigmatic therapist whose clinic, The Mirror Room, promises "radical clarity." His patients don't seem forced to die?they choose it.
As Leyla unravels Krauss's philosophy, the lines blur between therapy and manipulation. His eerie methods strip people to their core, leaving nothing but despair. The deeper she goes, the more Leyla feels herself being pulled into Krauss's psychological maze.
Can she expose him before she becomes his next subject? Or will she, too, surrender to the terrifying truth behind the glass?
A cerebral, atmospheric thriller about control, identity, and the power of belief.

Person
Abdul Quddus writes psychologically driven dark fiction exploring power, obsession, and moral decay.
His stories are cinematic and grounded in emotional realism, following damaged narrators caught in spirals of guilt, control, and isolation ? where the villain may speak in the first person and truth rarely arrives clean.
Influenced by film, psychology, and mythology, his work examines how minds fracture under pressure and how systems ? personal, social, or mythic ? replace morality with structure.
He previously ran Cinema Odyssey, a film-focused blog now serving as his author journal and update space.
