In Victorian Yorkshire, a young girl is confined to an asylum after displaying signs her family and community believe may be possession. As the years pass, isolation, religious fear, medical cruelty, and psychological torment blur the boundary between illness, belief, and horror.
Told through an intimate first-person account, Threads follows a life shaped by confinement, memory, and the stories others impose upon what they do not understand. As the years close in and the truth becomes harder to separate from fear, the question is no longer whether something supernatural is happening-but what happens when everyone around you believes that it is.
Threads is a dark historical psychological horror novel about trauma, faith, institutional cruelty, and the terrifying power of belief.
