Espejo Mortal / Mr. Murder

Dean Koontz creates a deeply unsettling villain; I wonder what real-life cases or fears influenced this depiction.

The story kept me on edge, but there were moments where I felt the tension lagged. Was that intentional to add realism or just pacing?

His descriptions and pacing really amplify the suspense. I’m curious whether his style was a conscious choice to heighten fear or came naturally.
