The Dweller on the Threshold

About this book

A man finds himself drawn towards a presence that seems to know his most private weaknesses. What begins as fascination slowly grows into the fear that something within him may have been given an independent life.

Robert Hichens explores suggestion, guilt and occult influence through psychological tension and supernatural possibility. His prose lingers over characters whose confidence begins to unravel. The threshold in the title becomes a dangerous border between conscious intention and forces they can no longer easily explain.
