A book from a Horror/Thriller series

Hi! I read this book when I was quite young and I think I remember its name but I can't find it anywhere online.

From what I can remember it was called the Shattered Mirror. The story was of a rich guy who got handicapped in an accident. He hires a female caretaker who starts living in his house. They begin to fall in love all the while she notices some supernatural activity. Later on, she finds out the house is haunted by the guy's dead fiance who moves through mirrors and tries to kill the girl.

Hmmmm.

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/rebecca/section10/ doesn't sound right, though it has some elements. Drat, I'm not able to pin down anything else... Maybe more of a date around when you read it? O:/

Good luck!

Thank you for your response but that's not quite it. :| I read it in 2009 but I got it from my aunt who must've read it in the 90's. It was a 92-page long short story from some teen-adolescent series.

Hmmmmmmm. *narrows search to 1990s*

Definitely not https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/601548.The_Accident , but you might like it.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1003291.Thirteen_Tales_of_Horror might contain something? It's just giving me titles, though. It's in a young-adult Horror series, though: "Point Horror Series." https://www.goodreads.com/series/199677-point-horror has a list, including some collections.

Sounds a bit like it's using Jane Eyre tropes. I don't dare visit TV tropes, though. Gotta get my kid to bed. https://owlcation.com/humanities/Jane-Eyre-Sequels-Prequels-Spin-Offs-and-Retellings has a list that might at least be interesting.
