Some houses are built with bricks, walls, and memories. Others are built over things that were never meant to be disturbed.
When Aryan's family begins repairing the old family haveli, they have no idea they are about to wake something that has been waiting beneath its foundation for over a hundred years. What starts as an ordinary renovation soon spirals into a haunting that refuses to stay contained—a presence that watches, that waits, and that seems to know exactly how to unravel a family from the inside.
As Aryan, his wife Naina, and their infant daughter Ira are pulled deeper into the horror consuming his childhood home, they discover that the danger isn't just supernatural. It's also the people closest to them—relatives whose grief, greed, and old resentments make them just as dangerous as whatever entered through that broken gate.
Tantriks are consulted. Warnings are given. Some are heeded, most are not. And with every passing year, the presence in the haveli grows stronger, more coordinated, and more determined to claim what it believes has always belonged to it.
Inspired by real-life events the author's own family has lived through since 2019, Thrown Over the Threshold is a slow-burn supernatural horror novel about faith, family, and the thin, fragile line between the world we can explain and the one we can't.
This is Part One of an ongoing series. The story does not end here—because in real life, it hasn't ended either.
