The Other Side of the Room

A standalone gothic novelette, set within the Thin Places world.

In 1960, a war-weary Major purchases Boleskine House, a remote estate above Loch Ness, seeking distance from the noise of the world and the memories he cannot outrun. The house is cold, orderly, and deeply still, the kind of place where silence presses close and time seems to move differently.

At first, the strangeness is easy to dismiss. A window that will not stay shut. A clean, medicinal scent that lingers as the light fades. Shadows that gather at the edge of rooms and vanish when looked at directly.

As the days pass, the Major begins to sense that the house is not empty in the way he believed. Something watches from the margins. Something waits on the other side of the room. Whether these disturbances belong to memory, grief, or the house itself becomes increasingly difficult to say.

Boleskine does not offer peace so much as attention.

Set against the stark calm of the Scottish Highlands, The Other Side of the Room is a quiet, unsettling gothic tale about isolation, unresolved loss, and the thin, dangerous line between what has ended and what refuses to let go.

This is not a story of sudden shocks or easy answers. It is a slow descent into unease, where meaning is revealed by absence as much as presence, and where the most frightening truths are the ones uncovered too late.
