Description

Obsessed with solving the riddle of the universe, a Scotsman named Fingal T. Smyth conducts an occult-science experiment during which he unleashes a projection of his innate knowledge.

Fingal aimed to interrogate this avatar to learn what it knows, but unfortunately, he forgot how violent the animal impulses that reside in the deepest recesses of the unconscious mind can be. The avatar appears as a burning man who seeks to manipulate innocent and unsuspecting people into immolating themselves.

Advance Praise

'A surrealistic, metaphysical novel that offers profound questions worth pondering.' - Blue Ink Reviews

'Definitely appealing to those readers who enjoy reading unusual fantasy novels that are both heartfelt and warming—a perfect book to read in front of a fireplace (or elsewhere!).' - The International Review of Books, Badge-of-Achievement Review

'Laszlo's writing style is imaginative and lush, creating heavily detailed moments of somber introspection for the main characters and then wholly throwing them into the deep end of some fantastical science that somehow makes complete sense in juxtaposition. ... It's hard not to love a novel that so ardently resists classification.' - Beatrice Toothman, Seattle Book Review

'On the Threshold is one of the most unique paranormal mysteries I've read this year. The narrative is filled with magical realism, and it brings an almost gothic flavor to the setting that is not only immersive but also oddly captivating. This is slow-burn storytelling at its finest. Laszlo also incorporates elements of horror alongside suspense and mystery to keep readers glued to the pages. Fingal is a very compelling character, and I found some of his inner monologues surprisingly hilarious. This will be the perfect book for paranormal mystery readers.' - Reader's Favorite Review
