Haunted Thresholds: Four Horrors Unveiled

This collection contains two novelettes and two novellas set in rich, imagined worlds where hauntings and hidden terrors await. Each story stands alone and may be read in any order. Strangely, their mysteries offer a curious comfort when read before sleep. The Unsettling Tale of Hotel Resenthorne: Dread in the Grandeur Hotel Resenthorne, crown jewel of the Resenthorne empire, rises proudly over the booming city of Prystine—promising luxury and perfection. Yet behind its polished elegance hides a relentless horror. An old woman—pale, grotesque, undeniably dead—haunts its corridors, elevators, kitchens, pools, and even the windows of its highest floors. Panic spreads as her appearances sow terror throughout the hotel. Desperate for answers, Albert Resenthorne summons four seasoned paranormal investigators. But what they discover will not only break their beliefs about the supernatural—it will scar the minds of all who confront the truth behind Hotel Resenthorne. The Curse on Myrrenwale Mansion: A Presence That Lingered Thomas Clarke plans to sell his ancestral Myrrenwale Mansion to fund his business expansion. But one force refuses to let him go—his mother's furious, lingering spirit, violently haunting anyone who steps inside. As Thomas seeks what binds her to the house, he uncovers a past his family kept buried in silence. What began as a financial decision becomes a desperate struggle against a curse tied to his bloodline, threatening not just his plans but his family's very survival. The Couple of Kivoli Hills: Malevolence in the Mist A group of young adults embarks on a trek through the mist-covered Kivoli Hills—seeking adventure and deeper bonds. But villagers warn of a ghostly couple haunting the hills, striking with brutal, unhuman cruelty. Victims are found mutilated; survivors are plagued by unending visions. Ignoring the warnings, the trekkers press on—only to discover horrors beyond imagination. Their journey shifts from adventure to a grim fight for survival against forces that do not forgive, or forget. The Terror of X'aal Rexys: A Feast Upon the Wicked In the thriving city of Elene, corruption festers beneath prosperity. Into this darkness comes X'aal Rexys, an ancient demon who feasts only on the wicked—corrupt officials, ruthless criminals, and those who thrive on cruelty. Each kill strengthens the creature, bringing it closer to a terrifying, unknown goal. Unseen, unstoppable, and able to assume human form, X'aal unleashes sulphurous fire and unimaginable violence. Captain Robert Zane takes on the impossible mission to stop it—but needs the forbidden knowledge of Simi Saha, an outcast occultist scorned as a witch. Together, they must confront a terror that could doom humanity itself.
