In the Obsidian Mirror I Remain: Reflections of a Fractured Soul is a raw and haunting collection of gothic poetry by Lee Alexander, a military veteran whose words are carved from lived experience, silent battles, and unspoken truths.

These poems are born from the weight of trauma, PTSD, grief, and fractured identity, blending the chilling beauty of gothic imagery with the stark reality of survival. Shadows breathe across the pages-mirrors crack, forgotten names echo, and houses sigh with the weight of memory-yet every image is also a reflection of the author's inner war.

Through confessional verse, Lee explores the scars left by military service, personal loss, depression, and the struggle to find meaning after darkness. From midnight waltzes with ghosts to the suffocating silence of trauma, this collection is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.

For readers who carry their own scars, these poems offer catharsis, recognition, and solidarity. For lovers of gothic, dark, and psychological poetry, they deliver an atmosphere both haunting and beautifully lyrical.

This book does not shy away from the abyss-but it reminds us that even in shattered reflections, there is power in being seen.
