THRESHOLD: At the threshold, nothing stays buried.
Threshold follows Elena Ward, a grieving mother consumed by guilt after the death of her two-year-old son, Noah. In desperate need of money, she left him alone for what she thought would be a moment — a choice that ended in tragedy. Alone in her apartment, Elena begins to experience subtle, haunting signs of an otherworldly presence. Mirrors shift. Water drips where it shouldn’t. Doorways feel alive. The Witness, an entity drawn to unspoken guilt, waits for her confession.
As weeks pass, the haunting intensifies. Elena is forced to confront the truth of that her choices, her fear, and the responsibility she cannot escape. Through carefully observed moments — the echo of Noah’s presence, mundane routines, and vivid flashbacks — the horror is as psychological as it is supernatural.
The pressure escalates when Detective Harris arrives, questioning details of Noah’s death and forcing Elena to speak truthfully beyond the walls of her apartment. Each confession weakens the entity until it finally recedes, leaving Elena unbroken but forever changed. She carries her grief openly, without excuses, and finally steps beyond the threshold of silence, guilt, and fear.
Threshold is a character-driven horror story a literary horror/drama exploring the weight of choice, the endurance of grief, and the power of accountability. It blends psychological tension, supernatural elements, and emotional depth, offering readers a story that lingers long after the last page.
In the vein of The Haunting of Hill House and Her Body and Other Parties, blending psychological tension with supernatural horror and deep emotional resonance. The novel explores grief, guilt, and the quiet terror of unconfessed truth, culminating in a resolution that is both haunting and honest.
